Instead of having a sun rising on malawi, he has a full sun shining on Malawi and the reason is as follows, to quote from the BBC, "The new flag features a full sun instead of the old flag's rising sun, to reflect Malawi's change from a developing to a developed nation. Pity people do not understand that it is not changing the flag that signals that a poor country like Malwai is developed, rather it is creating more wealth that will make Malawi a developed country.
"We cannot permanently live in the past," President Bingu wa Mutharika said when it was launched.
