Actually the solution is simple. If you can't differentiate the Indonesia and Singapore flag from a distance, walk nearer.

sigh, i think some people need to read up on vexillology, or at least go stare at a chart with all the countries' flags..
If you trace the origins and development of flags from ancient times, several stuff came up from mismash of ideas from different nations, as well as evolution in design of flags..
If you want to know, there are different types of flags - broad or club pennant, civil flag, ensign...as well as flag etiquette, flag conflicts, usage, divisions and charges...much of these, after centuries of development, came up to be similar throughout the whole world...mainly due to influence from one another..
Thats why we see most flags as rectangular 3 by 2, with or without cantons, stripes and so on....or with just a unique coat of arms.
Its no wonder Singapore flag look similar to other countries.
And there are flag families too, meaning similar looking flags are classified under one family, like flags with Christian Cross, Union Jack, The Stars and Stripes..as well as French Tricolore and pan-Arab colours...
Coincidentally, Singapore one is classified under The Muslim Crescent. If you think the intention is to appease neighbouring Muslim countries, go ask Lee Kuan Yew or local vexilologists. -
Surely Singapore is not a country that seeks to applease others, especially a failed third world nation like Indonesia?
We can copy the flag of a nation far away, but not our neighbour. Think of this- a boat is sailing in the Straits. Now it is Singapore's or Indon's. Cannot tell because the flag is almost identical at a distance..........cheh ! Singapore should do better than rely on cheap 'bruderhood'. -
It look similar doesnt mean we copy from them.

They used to have 49 states, but now they have 50. Did they add another star after putting Alaska on the list? Or something else?

FUCK YOU MANOriginally posted by idwar:Why does Singapore have a copy-cat flag?
I mean why choose RED and WHITE for the national colours when red and white actually are the colours representing Indonesian nationalism ?
The Malaysians copied the Red and White and used it as the UMNO colours, so that the UMNO flag is a Kris with a Red and White background. According to Nordin Sopee, a Malaysian scholar, Red and White represented malay nationalism in Malaya.
So why is Singapore also getting into the same bed? It is all the more confusing when it is impossible to differentiate the Indon flag from the Spore flag from a distance.
Somebody must have conned the PAP leadership back in 1959 to adopt this flag. Maybe this guy wanted Singapore to fall into Indonesia's orbit.
It's time to update the flag..........ok? -
They were considering Puerto Rico for the 51st state, but i think the idea cool off....Originally posted by MooKu:They used to have 49 states, but now they have 50. Did they add another star after putting Alaska on the list? Or something else? -
Wish it were our flag. -

I thought the stars and moon r prominent enough ? I never mistake a singapore flag for an indonesian one in my life before. Don't tell me u do.
