Brunei Flag Origins

By Robert Donovan


About the size of Delaware, Brunei is an independent sultanate on the northwest coast of the island of Borneo in the South China Sea, wedged between the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak. Today, Brunei, independent Islamic sultanate on the northern coast of the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. It is bounded on the north by the South China sea and on all other sides by the East Malaysian state of Sarawak, which also divides the state into two disconnected segments of unequal size.

The Brunei Empire had its golden age from the 15th to the 17th centuries, when its control extended over the entire island of Borneo and north into the Philippines. Brunei was particularly powerful under the fifth sultan, Bolkiah (1473-1521), who was famed for his sea exploits and even briefly captured Manila; and under the ninth sultan, Hassan (1605-19), who fully developed an elaborate Royal Court structure, elements of which remain.

The flag was adopted on 29 September 1959 and was retained as the national flag of after independence on 1 January 1984. On the coat of arms, there is a crescent symbolic of Islam which is closed by a parasol which is representative of royalty.

There are two gloves, one on every side of the bow. Written in Arabic script "Condition of Brunei Abode of Peace" and the motto "Dependably in Service with God's direction".

Black and White are typical of the government pastor and yellow speaks of the Sultan of Brunei. Before 1906, the Brunei banner was a plain yellow banner without any images only a yellow material. In 1906, the yellow banner with the black and white stripes showed up and has been being used from that point forward with the expansion of the emblem.

Like people in most countries, the people of Brunei see their flag as a symbol of hope for the future of their country and the world. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Brunei Flag for the future.
