 Sabah, Flag & Crest

 

 

The flag is rectangular in the proportion 1:2. The canton which extends at the head halfway to the fly and 2/3 of the hoist to the foot is in icicle blue as the background to a silhouette of Mount Kinabalu, in royal blue, positioned at 1/6 of the height of the canton. The fly is divided equally into three bands of colors, the foot of which extends to the hoist. The top band is zircon blue, followed by white and chili red.

 

The new flag and emblem of Sabah are officially established on 16 September 1988. The new State emblems are very similar to the State flag and crest adopted when Sabah joined Malaysia in 1963 but which were replaced in 1981 under administration of Berjaya Party (1976-1985).

 

 

The State crest consists of two arms in yellow holding up the State flag resting on a band of five State colors: zircon, blue, red chili, white, icicle blue and royal blue. Immediately below is the main crest in the form of a shield with its top segment carrying three of the main colors, zircon, blue, white and red chili in V bands. At the lower segment is the silhouette shape of Mount Kinabalu in royal blue against the plain icicle blue background. The shield is rested on a red scroll carrying the State motto ¡°Sabah Maju Jaya¡± in blue.

 

The two arms symbolize unity and cooperation among the State¡¯s multi racial communities for progress and success of the country. The five colors represent the five divisions in the state.

 

Zircon blue symbolizes peace and tranquility, white purity and justice, chili red courage and conviction. Icicle blue unity and prosperity and royal blue strength and cooperation. The silhouette shape of Mount Kinablu symbolizes the State of Sabah.
