Flag and coat of arms of Johor

The flag and coat of arms of Johor are the official state symbols of Johor, which has been a state of Malaysia since 1963. As with other Malaysian states with Malay royalty, Johor's symbols reflect the influence of its royal institution, as well as elements of Islam and the state's political and natural heritage. Many of these symbols, including the present flag and coat of arms, predate modern Malaysia. They were already in use when Johor functioned as a more sovereign kingdom, and continued after the state came under the indirect control of the United Kingdom in 1885 and later a part of the British Unfederated Malay States.
