The Singapore flag is a symbol of national pride, consisting of a red upper half and a white lower half. In the upper left corner, a white crescent moon is accompanied by five white stars arranged in a pentagon. The red color represents universal brotherhood and equality, while the white signifies purity and virtue. The crescent moon symbolizes a young nation on the rise, and the five stars represent the country's ideals of democracy, peace, progress, justice, and equality. This distinctive design makes the Singapore flag easily recognizable.
