Who created the Singapore anthem and flag?

The Singapore anthem, "Majula Singapura" (Onward Singapore), was composed in 1958 by Zubir Said, a renowned Singaporean composer and musician. The lyrics were written by a team led by poet and journalist Osman bin Haji Mohamed Ali, also known as Osman Sapian.

As for the Singapore flag, it was designed by a committee headed by Toh Chin Chye, who served as Singapore's first Deputy Prime Minister. The flag was officially adopted on December 3, 1959, when Singapore gained internal self-government within the British Empire.

The flag consists of two equal horizontal bands of red (top) and white. In the upper left canton of the red band is a white crescent moon, symbolizing Islam, the main religion in the country. Five small white stars are arranged in a circle within the crescent moon, representing democracy, peace, progress, justice, and equality.
