The Flag of Malacca is the flag of the Malaysian state of Malacca. Red, white, yellow and blue, which are the colours of the flag of Malaysia, are also used in the flag of Malacca to emphasize that Malacca is a member state of Malaysia. The star and crescent represents Islam, the official religion of the State and of the nation. The top left hand quarter has a background of royal blue with a yellow crescent moon and a yellow five-pointed star. The top right hand quarter is red and the lower half is white.[1] This flag was adopted by the then Settlement Council on 16 July 1957 in preparation for the independence of Malaya.
