Similar Flags
The flag of Malaysia is very similar to the flag of the United States, which has one less stripe and 50 stars in the Blue Canton. However, the Malaysian flag is based on the flag of the British East India Company; which, in turn, may have influenced the US flag. Because of this, flags based off the US flag, such as those of Liberia and Bikini Atoll, also bear a resemblance to the flag of Malaysia.

Famous quotes containing the words similar and/or flags:
“Swear words and profanities are mere abbreviations of speech, similar to the abbreviations in writing.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“No doubt I shall go on writing, stumbling across tundras of unmeaning, planting words like bloody flags in my wake. Loose ends, things unrelated, shifts, nightmare journeys, cities arrived at and left, meetings, desertions, betrayals, all manner of unions, adulteries, triumphs, defeats ... these are the facts.”
—Alexander Trocchi (1925–1983)
