Flag of Singapore - flagsworld.org

Flag of Singapore In the nineteenth century, British settlements in Southeast Asia were consolidated to frame the state of the Straits Settlements; the banner identification for its utilization on the British Blue Ensign was white with a red modified Y bearing three gold crowns to speak to Singapore, Malacca, and Penang. Singapore had no flag  of its own, despite the fact that its seal demonstrated a lion to review the importance of the name ("Lion City"). There was likewise a city ensign demonstrating a lion, allowed in 1911. After World War II Singapore turned into a different state with an identification Singapore flag and  like that of the Straits Settlements however containing just one crown. At long last, on December 3, 1959, with the presentation of self-government, Singapore procured its own banner

The stripes of red and white, standing for universal brotherhood and equality and for purity and virtue, resembled those in a number of neighbouring countries, including Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaya. In the upper hoist corner was a crescent, which was defined as being symbolic of the growth of a young country. The crescent framed five stars representing democracy, peace, progress, justice, and equality. When displayed on other national flags, the star and crescent are officially associated with Islam, but this is not the case with the flag of Singapore.
