Protocol for Standing During the National Anthem
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) states that people should stand at attention when the national anthem plays. Exceptions apply when it’s part of a newsreel or documentary, as standing could disrupt the film. The MHA emphasizes the need for proper decorum when showing respect to the national anthem.
