Meaning
The flag of Brunei features a golden yellow field with a white crescent moon and a red star positioned in the upper hoist area. A red-white-red horizontal stripe runs along the bottom edge. The yellow represents the sultanate's sovereignty, while the crescent and star symbolize Islam, the nation's predominant faith. The red and white stripes represent the state of Brunei Darussalam.
