To each one his opinion... In my opinion, not singing the national anthem is not disrespecting it, same way as not putting up the national flag atop your home on national holidays.
The Issue is being blown out of proportion.
Insulting the National flag, or National anthem etc., are different things. There is a code of conduct which describes how to sing the Anthem, and how to hoist the flag, but nowhere does the code of conduct say "you have to sing it". Thats a personal choice. Its his company, nothing about being neo-liberal here.

Of course if NRN had refused to stand up while the national anthem was being sung, that would have been "insult".
