The event was to celebrate the unification of Sabah, Sarawak, Singapore, and Malaya. September 16, 1963, was the establishment of the Malaysian Federation. The flag was modified again in September 1963. It was also raised on 31 August 1957, the Federation’s independence day, at Merdeka Square. George VI later approved the Malayan Flag on. Hence the five points were changed to 11 points to symbolize the 11 states of the Federation. The five-point star might be similar to the Communists’ symbols.The pattern in white was changed to a yellow crescent and star.The color of the top-left canton was changed to a blue canton.The blue and white stripes were changed to alternating red and white stripes.The result of the modification was as follows: The Malayan senior statesman at the time, Dato’ Onn Jaafar met up with the winner after he won the competition to give a few suggestions to modify the flag.

Represent the official religion of the federation The symbolism of the original flag: Symbolism The flag’s design has 11 blue and white horizontal stripes, a red canton on the top-left side, and inside, it contains a crescent moon and a five-pointed star, both white in color. The third design was designed by Mohamed Hamzah, a 29-year-old architect. The third design was chosen out of all the designs sent by 373 participants. After receiving designs, three designs were presented to the public, and a public poll was held by The Malay Mail for the public to comment on and choose from. However, after the Federation of Malaya took over, a flag design competition was held to choose the perfect flag for the Federation in 1947. Thus the Federation of Malaya was born in 1948. However, the Union (which consisted of the Malay state, the straight settlements of Penang, and Malacca) did not last long due to opposition. History The Federation Of Malayaīefore the country had its flag, each state in Malaya (Malaysia’s previous name) had its own flag most of these flags are still kept the same until now.Īfter World War II in 1946, The Malayan Union came to be when the British decided to put the Malay peninsula under a single government. All in all, the Malaysian national flag is a vibrant, meaningful representation of the country’s culture and values. And let’s not forget the striking use of yellow, the royal color of the Malay rulers, to highlight the crescent and star. The blue canton, also representing unity, adds to the flag’s harmonious message. Meanwhile, the 14-pointed star represents the unity of Malaysia’s diverse regions and people, including the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur, Labuan, and Putrajaya. The crescent, representing Islam, Malaysia’s official religion, and practiced by the majority of its citizens, is a powerful symbol of faith and identity. But that’s not all – the blue field in the top-left corner is a symbol of unity, and it features a yellow crescent and a 14-pointed star, both of which hold great significance in Malaysian culture. With 14 horizontal stripes alternating red and white, the flag represents equality among the federation’s 13 member states.
