Similar Flags
The flag of Malaysia is very similar to the flag of the United States, which has one less stripe and 50 stars in the Blue Canton. However, the Malaysian flag is based on the flag of the British East India Company; which, in turn, may have influenced the US flag. Because of this, flags based off the US flag, such as those of Liberia and Bikini Atoll, also bear a resemblance to the flag of Malaysia.

“... nothing is more human than substituting the quantity of words and actions for their character. But using imprecise words is very similar to using lots of words, for the more imprecise a word is, the greater the area it covers.”

“Still, it is dear defiance now to carry
Fair flags of you above my indignation,”
