Flag of Malaysia
The national flag consists of 14 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 the equal status in the federation of the member states and the federal government. The union or canton of dark blue in the upper quarter of the flag next to the staff 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.
The Malaysian flag was officially named Jalur Gemilang. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Mahathir Mohamad made the announcement at midnight in conjunction with the 40th National Day celebrations. Jalur means a "range of value", "wave lengths" or "stripes" while Gemilang means "glorious". Read together, Jalur Gemilang means a "glorious range of values".
Emblem
The Coat of Arms of Malaysia shows a 14 pointed star which represents the equal status of the 13 states and their unity with the federal government. The Star and the Crescent form the traditional symbols of Islam, the official religion of Malaysia. The five keris represent the former Unfederated Malay States of Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Perlis and Terengganu. The four former Federated Malay States of Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak and Selangor are represented by the four centre panels, the permutations of whose colours represent the colours of these states (red, black and yellow for Negeri Sembilan; black and white for Pahang; black, white and yellow for Perak and red and yellow for Selangor). The left-hand division of the shield represents the state of Penang (Pulau Pinang) and the right-hand division, with the Melaka tree, the state of Melaka. The states of Sabah and Sarawak are represented by the left and right sections below respectively while the centre contains the national flower, the bunga raya (hibiscus). The tigers, rampant on either side of the shield are retained from the earlier armorial ensign of the Federation of Malaya (and before that of the Federated Malay States). The yellow colour of the scroll containing the motto in Roman and Jawi script is the royal colour of the Rulers.
