The national flag of Brunei was adopted on September 29 , 1959 when the country was a British Protectorate , and was retained when the country gained full independence on January 1 , 1984 , as ''Brunei Darussalam'' (State of Brunei, Abode of Peace). The flag has the Coat Of Arms Of Brunei in the centre, on a Yellow field. The field is cut by Black and White diagonal stripes, although they are officially called Parallelogram s. The coat of arms is as follows: a Crescent (symbolising Islam ) joined with a Parasol (symbolising Monarchy ), and two Gloves on both sides. Below the crescent is a Ribbon . On the crescent and ribbon are Arabic inscriptions translating as "State of Brunei, Abode of peace" and "There is no god but Allah ; Muhammad is the messenger of Allah" (more commonly rendered as "There is no deity but God, Muhammad is the messenger of God"). In Southeast Asia , yellow is traditionally the colour of Royalty , and the royal standards of Malaysia and Thailand , along with the presidential flag of Indonesia , also use a yellow field.
