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.

Famous quotes containing the words similar and/or flags:
“It is surely a matter of common observation that a man who knows no one thing intimately has no views worth hearing on things in general. The farmer philosophizes in terms of crops, soils, markets, and implements, the mechanic generalizes his experiences of wood and iron, the seaman reaches similar conclusions by his own special road; and if the scholar keeps pace with these it must be by an equally virile productivity.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“No doubt I shall go on writing, stumbling across tundras of unmeaning, planting words like bloody flags in my wake. Loose ends, things unrelated, shifts, nightmare journeys, cities arrived at and left, meetings, desertions, betrayals, all manner of unions, adulteries, triumphs, defeats ... these are the facts.”
—Alexander Trocchi (1925–1983)
