Under a transitional arrangement, the last British Governor, Sir William Goode, served as Yang di-Pertuan Negara, from June 3 to December 3 1959 . He was succeeded by Yusof Bin Ishak , who was sworn into office on the same day as the country's National Flag , Coat Of Arms , and National Anthem were adopted.
