The National Symbols
Our Singapore Flag
The Singapore flag shall be halved horizontally - red over white. It shall have at the top hoist a crescent moon sided by five stars in a circle, all in white. The ratio of the width to the length of the flag shall be two to three.
The colour red is symbolic of universal brotherhood and equality of man, and the colour white signifies pervading and everlasting purity and virtue. The crescent represents a young nation on the ascent in its ideals of establishing democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality as indicated by the stars.
