The National Coat of Arms or State crest together with National Flag was designed by a committee headed by Dr Toh Chin Chye. Both the State Crest and the National Flag were launched on 3 December 1959 at the installation of the Yang di-Pertuan Negara at the City Hall steps. The State Crest as in the National Flag also uses the five stars and crescent moon. It contains a shield with a red background. On it is an inscription of five white stars in a circle and below the circle of five stars is a white crescent moon to act as balance. Supporting the shield is a lion on the left and a tiger on the right and below the shield is a banner with the inscription “Majulah Singapura”. The State Crest symbolises Singapore as an independent state. It is also sometimes known as the State Arms of Singapore.
