Berikut dibawah ini adalah sejarah bendera Semenanjung Melayu yaitu "Bendera Rakyat" / People's Flag???

Bendera Rakyat @ The People's Flag (1947)

The People's Flag was officially used all over Malaya since 10 Dec 1947. According to Utusan Melayu newspaper, almost all big towns and small towns including Malacca, Johor Bahru, Kuantan, Sungai Siput, Alor Stra and Singapore had a flag ceremony.

The meaning of the symbol on the People's Flag is:

12 stars - 12 states in Malaya, i.e., 9 Malay states + 3 Straits Settlements (Perak, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Terengganu, Perlis, Kelantan, Kedah, Johor + Pulau Pinang, Melaka, Singapura).

Yellow Color on Star - People's justice and sovereignty, constitution approved, imagine all states in peace and prosperity.

Five sided on the star - God, people's sovereignty, social justice, welfare, nationhood.

Red color - The peoples' bravery and power for the challenge; facing all obstacles; resistance in order to create justice and democracy in Malaya.

White color - Struggle based on honesty and purity to obtain true freedom without any greed and bribery, but only with one ambition, i.e., our own government based on People's Sovereignty

Also: the red-white color represents Malaya's peoples and was chosen by PUTERA and AMCJA (both after Japanese Occupation resistance) because it is the Malay national flag color since Majapahit on 14th century (Same as the Indonesia flag.)

Tapi merah-putih Majapahit tidak pernah disetujui oleh tuan British dikarenakan seluruh koloni British harus mengadopsi Union Jack !!!
