History and graphic composition of the Singapore flag

Among all flags, the Singapore flag consists of two horizontal red and white stripes and a crescent moon that surrounds five white stars on the mast side in the upper red strip. It is one of the symbols of the Republic of Singapore, an East Asian city-state that was once part of Malaysia, a small territory located between the Singapore Strait in front of Indonesia in the south and Malaysia in the north.

This rectangular flag with a 2/3 ratio was first proclaimed on 3rd December 1959, the year Singapore was given its own Constitution by the British Empire. It later became the country's national flag in 1965 when Singapore obtained its official independence from Malaysia.
