required when it is played immediately before or after the Anthem of

are singing their own National Anthem.
v.
(1)
(2)
GENERAL
Whenever the Anthem is sung or played, the audience shall stand to
attention, However, when in the course of a newsreel or documentary the
Anthem is played asa part of the film, it is not expected of the audience to
stand as standing is bound to interrupt the exhibition of the film and
would create disorder and confusion rather than add to the dignity of the.
Anthem.
.:
As in the case of the flying of the National Flag, it has been left to the
good sense of. the people not to indulge in indiscriminate singing or
playing of the Anthem.
