Hey everybody, welcome back to flag fan Friday. Hope you like the Malaysia episode
now as you know
this is a part where I usually kind of talk about and discuss the things that didn't quite make it into the video one of
The things I really wanted to talk about
We just didn't have time was the 1963 malaysia agreement in the simplest way
I can put it Indonesia was against the states of Sarawak and Sabah becoming a part of Malaysia
So for about three years
They had a little bit of a war slash skirmish against each other and in the end
Malaysia held their ground and they held on to solder walken Sabah. That's why today Borneo looks like this split up between three nations
So great. It's like one island but like everybody wants a piece of it and I don't blame them that Island is pretty cool
They have like flying snakes and all these weird animals on it
There's probably a lot of other things I could have said but there's just time. Yeah, let's jump into it the flag
So without further ado
Malaysia I remember that time I crossed the bridge from Singapore into Johor
I actually had Nassim a lock for the first time from a street vendor. I didn't even know what half this stuff was
I just dumped like everything on my plate. I'm gonna be a little eyes
Very well, but I liked it anyway worth it. Anyway, the flag, let's jump in
The flag is a striped banner with 14
alternating red and white stripes much like that of the USA with a blue Canton in the upper left bearing a yellow Crescent and
14 pointed star the stripes and points on the star both represent the unity between the 13 states and the 14th one representing the federal
territories the crescent symbolizes the state's official religion Islam while the blue represents the unity of the Malaysian people the yellow
Represents the color of the royal rulers of Malaysia fun side note the 14th stripe in the 14th point on the star used to stand
For Singapore, but then after they left they made it stand for the federal territories because you know, Singapore
Yeah, as you say wasn't working out in addition before the Sarawak and Sabah thing happened
They used an 11 pointed star after independence and prior to that
Of course, they're under the British each state had their own crown colony flag prior to that. They're under the British Straits settlement
Whereas the Borneo side was under the kingdom of sorrow walk interesting
anyway
The coat-of-arms the coat-of-arms
Contains a shield with lots of symbols on it on top of it are the five
Creases or the traditional dagger is representing the former
Malay states of Johor Terengganu Kelantan Kedah and Perlas totally butchered those pronunciations. I'm sorry under it on the left
There's the pinned on palm with the Penang Bridge
representing Penang
The colors in the middle stand for the federated states the three sections at the bottom
Represent the two states of Sarawak and Sabah with the national flower the hibiscus and on the right side the malacca tree
representing malacca on the sides
The shield is supported by tigers the national animal
symbolizing strength and courage the crest on top of everything is a yellow crescent and star just like the ones on the flag with the
Same meanings and finally the motto at the bottom banner reading there say qu - there tom Babu - which means unity is strength
keep in mind of course over the years the coat of arms has changed quite a few times things got a little tricky when Singapore
joined But then laughs our walk had to change their flag because it was like too similar to the one of the Czech Republic Czechia
But overall the format of the Tigers and the shield has stuck and that is just about it. You know what time it is?
It's time for geography about time. So we got a lot of stuff this week
