The National Flag of Singapore was first adopted in 1959, the year Singapore became a self-governing nation.

It was the committee headed by Dr Toh Chin Chye (the then Deputy Prime Minister) which first conceived of and created the flag. It was unveiled on December 3, 1959.

Singaporean flag was reconfirmed as the national flag when the republic gained complete sovereignty on August 9, 1965.

It consists of a horizontal bicolour of red above white, overlaid in the canton by a white crescent moon facing a pentagon of five small white five-pointed stars.

The elements of the flag denote a young nation on the ascendant, universal brotherhood and equality and national ideals.

Singaporeans are encouraged to display the national flag outside their homes during National Day celebrations.

Vessels at sea do not use the national flag as an ensign. Merchant vessels and pleasure craft fly a civil ensign of red charged in white with a variant of the crescent and stars emblem in the centre.

Naval warships fly a naval ensign similar to the State ensign, but in white with a red compass rose emblem.

Rules defined by the Singapore Arms and Flag and National Anthem Act govern the use and display of the national flag. These have been relaxed to allow citizens to fly the flag from vehicles during national holidays and from homes at any time of the year.
