A grand flag-raising ceremony is held at a specific time on the National Day. When the national flag is slowly raised along with the national anthem, the entire crowd stands at attention and sings the national anthem to show respect and love for the country, symbolizing its independence and dignity.

For example, at the National Day celebrations in 2023, upon the arrival of the Head of State, His Majesty Sultan Abdullah, and the Head of State's stepdaughter, Tunku Azizah, the National Flag was raised in glorious fashion as the Royal Artillery Regiment fired a 14-gun salute to symbolize the 14 states of Malaysia.
