Jalur Gemilang

Aku baru tau yang design bendera Malaysia sekarang ni (Jalur Gemilang) tu dulu EC old boys. Anyway, berjasa tak semestinya dikenang atau dihargai. 

Aku quote EC punya motto...Dum vivimus, vivamus, labore et honore,...while we are alive, let us live by labor and honor.

Daripada Wiki;

The Malayan flag was designed by Mohamed Hamzah, a 29-year-old architect working for the Public Works Department (JKR) in Johor Bahru, Johor. He entered the Malayan flag design competition in 1947 with two designs which he completed within two weeks. The first design was a green flag with blue kris in the middle, surrounded by 15 white stars. The second design, which was among the three finalists, was similar to the current flag but with a five-pointed star. It borrows major design elements from the East India Company flag, notably the red and white stripes. The competition attracted 373 entries and voting was made by the general public via post. Malayan senior statesman Dato' Onn Jaafar met with Mohamed Hamzah after he won the competition and suggested that the star be changed to an 11-pointed one to represent all the Malayan states.
Mohamed Hamzah died just short of his 75th birthday on 13 February 1993 in Jalan Stulang Baru, Kampung Melayu Majidee, Johor.
