The Bunga Raya
The Bunga Raya or Hibiscus Flower was officially proclaimed as the National flower by Malaysia's first Prime Minister, the late Tunku Abdul Rahman on the 28th July 1960. The five petals of hibiscus represent the five principals of Rukunegara ( Nationhood ) in fostering unity and developing a fair and equal society.

The red colour of the Hibiscus refelects the country's economy and political strength and courage in facing challanges. In general the rich diversity of the Hibuscus which appear in many colour and sizes, symbolises Malaysia's muliti racial society, religion and cultural diversity living in harmony.


The Hibiscus was immortalised as one of the images in the National Embelem of Malaysiaon 19th May 1983. The Hibiscus was declared as a National heritage on 7th july 2007.
