What is the history of Malaysia flag?

In: Malaysia [Edit categories]

Answer:

The flag of Malaysia, which was first raised on September 16, 1963, originated from the flag of the Federation of Malaya.
After the British started to collectively administer the eleven states of Malaya as a single entity, the idea of having a national flag was mooted. Prior to that, each state in Malaya had its own flag, many of which are unchanged in design to this very day.
