Makna warna 🎨
Warna merah melambangkan keberanian dan warna putih melambangkan kesucian.
Warna kuning pada bulan dan bintang pula melambangkan Raja-raja Melayu.
Warna biru melambangkan perpaduan rakyat pelbagai kaum.
Makna bintang dan bulan 🌙🌟
Bulan melambangkan agama Islam dan bintang melambangkan perpaduan semua negeri dan wilayah persekutuan.
Tarikh penting 🗓️
Jalur Gemilang lebih kerap dikibarkan pada bulan Ogos hingga pertengahan bulan September. Mengapa, ya? Kerana 31 Ogos 1957 ialah tarikh kemerdekaan negara Malaysia. 16 September 1963 pula tarikh Hari Malaysia, iaitu tarikh pembentukan Persekutuan Malaysia.
