Singapore's flag has two horizontal halves: red on top and white below, with a white crescent moon and five white stars arranged in a circle in the upper-left corner. Red symbolizes universal brotherhood and equality, white represents pervading purity and virtue, the crescent represents a young nation on the ascendant, and the five stars stand for democracy, peace, progress, justice, and equality.
Singapore's five stars are arranged in a pentagon shape, and each star represents one of the country's five national ideals: democracy, peace, progress, justice, and equality.
Adopted: 1959
