Flag of Brunei. The national flag of Brunei has the crest of Brunei in the centre, on a yellow field. The field is cut by black and white diagonal stripes, although they are officially called parallelograms. The yellow field represents the Sultan of Brunei. (In Southeast Asia, yellow is traditionally the colour of royalty). The crest consists of a crescent (symbolising Islam) joined with a parasol (symbolising monarchy), and two upturned hands on both sides (signifying the benevolence of the government). Below the crescent is a ribbon. On the crescent and ribbon are Arabic inscriptions translating as "State of Brunei, Abode of peace" and Brunei's motto, "Always in service with God's guidance" The black and white parallelograms represent Brunei's chief ministers.
