A good place to learn more about the flags of each state in Malaysia is by visiting Putra Square, which is one of the country?s main landmarks and also a symbol of unity. You will find Putra Square located across the Prime Minister?s office complex.

Adorned with lights, locally-inspired motifs and water features, this 300m area is the centre piece of Precinct 1. Its open space and width makes it an excellent venue for ceremonies, carnivals and major events.

The design of Dataran Putra incorporates an 11-point outer star which represents the 11 states of Malaysia during Independence. The inner circle has a 13-point star which represents the number of states in Malaysia today. Putra Square is encircled by Chahar Bagh, designed after the Garden of Eden.
