The colors of the Singapore flag represent
red for brotherhood and
equality; white for purity and virtue. The crescent moon
originally served as a symbol of assurance to the Malays in
1959 -the year the flag was designed- that Singapore was not a
Chinese state. Today it is generally said
that the moon signified a young nation rising. The flag was
designed initially to have three stars, until leaders
such as then Deputy Prime Minister Toh Chin Chye expressed
concern that Singapore might be perceived
to have associations with the Malayan Communist Party, the
flag of which also had three stars. The flag was originally
meant to be red as red is a very traditional Chinese color.
But because of the fear of Communism in those days, a
completely red flag was abandoned.
Each
flag shown is the flag used by that
nation's government and displayed at the U.N.
headquarters. Where noted the "civil" flag is also
available. It is identical to the "government" flag except
the seal is omitted.
Flags for Outdoor use are made of 100% heavyweight
nylon and finished with strong canvas headings and brass
grommets.
