Symbolism
The flag of Federal Territory is used to represent the Federal Territory as a whole. The original three territory flags are still in use when representing the individual Federal Territories.
The flag has three colours: yellow to represent respect, sovereignty and honour; red for strength; and blue for unity, sincerity and harmony. These three horizontal bars have the same proportions as those on the flag of Venezuela. The three stars below the Jata Negara stand for the three territories, supporting their mission to become important administrative and business centres.

Famous quotes containing the word symbolism:
“...I remembered the rose bush that had reached a thorny branch out through the ragged fence, and caught my dress, detaining me when I would have passed on. And again the symbolism of it all came over me. These memories and visions of the poor—they were the clutch of the thorns. Social workers have all felt it. It holds them to their work, because the thorns curve backward, and one cannot pull away.”
—Albion Fellows Bacon (1865–1933)
