Malaysia Flag_Tiger_Crescent & 14 points Star - The Malysia Symbol can be clearly seen on the emblem consisting of tigers(male & female), crescent and 14 points star.
In modern times the Republic of Indonesia has made Bhineka Tunggal Ika-Unity in Diversity as a national emblem. Mention must be made here of Panca Sila, the 5 basic principles of the Republic of Indonesia. They are: Faith in one God, Nationalism, Democracy, Humanity and Just Society. All over Indonesia, at Govt. places you see Garuda, the vehicle of the Hindu God Vishnu alongside with a Panca Sila plaque. Indonesians are extremely proud of their historical cultural past. Indonesia like India is secular and even one of their currency notes carries a picture of Lord Ganesha. Garuda in the Indonesian history holds a place of honour. It is a symbol of national emblem with Vishnu riding it. Garuda sculpture is shown in countless temples. Garuda stands for complete devotion to Lord Vishnu and subsequent freedom from evil. Garuda also stands for the freedom of the people of Indonesia from foreign rule. ABOUT MY COUNTRY SYMBOL - MALYSIA.
