The Origin

Also known as the National Coat of Arms, the State Crest sybolises  Singapore’s status as a self-governing and independent state.

Meaning

The State Crest of Singapore is formed by a shield emblazoned with a white crescent moon and five white stars against a red background.
The colour Red  symbolises universal brotherhood and the equality of man, while white signifies pervading and everlasting purity and virtue.
 The five stars represent the national ideals of democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality. These ideals are also found on the National Flag.
Supporting the shield are a lion on the left and a tiger on the right. A banner below the shield is inscribed with the Republic of Singapore's motto, 'Majulah Singapura' (meaning 'Onward Singapore' in Malay). The lion embodies Singapore itself while the tiger represents Singapore's historical ties with Malaysia.
