| The Malaysian National Flag
consists of fourteen red and white stripes (along the fly) of
equal width, a union or canton of dark blue, a crescent and
a star. The red and white stripes stand for equal status in
the federation of the member states and the federal government.
The union or canton of dark blue represents the unity of the
peoples of Malaysia. The union contains the crescent which is
the symbol of Islam, and the star, the 14 points of which symbolise
the unity of the 13 states of the federation with the federal
government. The yellow of the crescent and the star is the royal
colour of the Rulers. |
