Malaysia Flag

The flag of Malaysia, known as Jalur Gemilang (Stripes of Glory), features 14 horizontal red and white stripes of equal width, representing the 13 member states and the federal government. In the upper left corner, there is a blue canton with a yellow crescent moon and a 14-point star called the Federal Star. The red and white stripes symbolize courage and purity, while the blue canton represents the unity of the Malaysian people. The yellow crescent is a symbol of Islam, the country’s official religion, and the 14-point star signifies the unity among the states and federal territories. The flag was officially adopted on September 16, 1963, when Malaysia was formed, and it reflects the country’s multicultural heritage, religious significance, and commitment to unity and harmony.
