History
The flag of Singapore was adopted on 3 December 1959 when Singapore became a self-governing state and was retained after independence on 9 August 1965. Its red stripe symbolizes universal brotherhood and the equality of man, while the white stripe represents pervading and everlasting purity and virtue. The crescent stands for a young nation on the ascendant, and the five stars represent democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality.
