Malaysian Flag

By Child 1

Every country has its flag, and that does not exclude Malaysia. Flying high, the Malaysian flag is a beautiful sight to see. But what do those stripes and symbols mean? Let's take a closer look.

The Malaysian Flag has 14 alternating red and white stripes, representing the 13 states, and the 14th stripe for the federal territories. You may not be able to see the last
white stripe at the bottom of this flag due to the white background, but it is still there. The blue in the upper right hand corner represents the unity of the Malaysian people, and the yellow for the color of the royals. The yellow crescent represents the country's official religion, Islam, and the 14-pointed star, like the stripes, represents the unity of the 13 states, with the fourth point for the federal territories.

Now you know a little more about the Malaysian flag, and you can walk away feeling a little smarter. And now every time you see that flag, you can say "Hey! That's the Malaysian flag!"
