Though we have not yet to see everyone wearing RED on our 38th
National Day but we believe our efforts have paid off in one way or another...
We would like to continue with the campaign next year (2004) and
invite interested volunteers and organizations to help us spread the
message...

Meaning of our National Flag
Our National Flag consists of two equal horizontal sections, red
above white. In the upper left canton is a white crescent moon
beside five white stars within a circle. The features of the flag
were not arbitrarily chosen – each feature has its own distinctive
meaning and significance: red symbolises universal brotherhood and
equality of man; white signifies pervading and everlasting purity
and virtue; the crescent moon represents a young nation on the
ascendant; and the five stars stand for the nation's ideals of
democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality.
"Our friends are very supportive of our efforts
so far and we hope to get as many people and organizations to
support this campaign. Just pass the word around to all your
friends. If you know anyone who wish to put their name in the volunteer
list, just drop anyone of us an email.
Cheers!"
