Flag Of Malaysia πŸ‘†

What is the significane behind the flag ? 

The flag of Malaysia is also known as Malay : Jalur Gemilang (Stripes of glory). You  can see the  14 red and white alternating stripes and a dark blue square in the top left–hand corner. The lines represent the 13 states of Malaysia and the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur, La buan and Putra Jaya. Inside the square, the blue symbolises the harmony of Malaysian people. The ‘C’-shaped moon signifies Islam. Each point on the 14-point star represents each of the Malaysian states and Federal territory in the same way as the stripes. 

Origin 

In 1947, an architect named Mohamed Hamzah entered a competition to design the Malaysian flag. With influences from the British East India Company  style of alternative stripes with the Union Jack in the top left–hand corner, a public vote chose his design out of 373 others. According to some, the Malaysian flag shares similarities to the United States. But the appearance is purely coincidental. The Malaysian flag was first raised on September 16, 1963 after the declaration of the Federated States of Malaya, North Borneo (Sabah), Sarawak and Singapore. Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad asked the country to name the Malaysian flag in 1997. The public chose ‘Jalur Gemilang’, or Stripes of Glory in English.
