I have strong convictions that the Jalur Gemilang mistake is a genuine one. Nothing malicious.
When we look at familiar pictures and words, our mind automatically fills up the missing pieces. In psychology, the term for when our brain fills in missing details in familiar pictures or words is called "filling in" or "completion".
Yes, the Editors should have been more careful. That is their job. However, they have been rebuked by no other than the YDP Agong. Sin Chew has apologized and are taking the appropriate actions.
Today, our concern should be the many parties and individuals who are consciously being vicious and malicious in dealing with the situation. Those who are using a genuine mistake for selfish political and bigoted purposes. Their actions and words are worse than the original mistake. In fact, they are being disrespectful to the YDP Agong – acting as though his decree is not adequate.
From an Islamic perspective, while Islam emphasizes the importance of not being silent about mistakes, it also recognizes the possibility of making genuine blunders. One must seek forgiveness and exercise self-correction – of which Sin Chew is doing. This is because Islam emphasizes the importance of learning from past errors and striving to improve one's actions.
“Verily, Allah has overlooked for my nation their honest mistakes, forgetfulness, and what they are forced into doing.” - Prophet Muhammad (Sunan Ibn Mājah 2045)

JALUR GEMILANG PICTURE BANK
Naturally today, our mind will be more conscious of our flag and the brain will be more vigilant paying attention to the crescent. Just like when someone close buy a new car model, say a Toyota Yaris, you will "suddenly" see the model everywhere in town 
The gaffe is likely from the same shared resources or picture bank website.
I am confident PDRM will find the source and we can nip it in the bud.
Peace, anas
Additional note : See if you start noticing more TOYOTA YARIS after reading this post ya
YARIS!YARIS!YARIS!
