These are the pictures I take from Ah Chua Trading, Pekan Nanas.
The five-petaled, Hibiscus rosa sinensis, also known as China rose and shoe flower.
It is NATIONAL SYMBOL of MALAYSIA since 1960s,
which RED represents COURAGE
and the FIVE PETALS represents the FIVE PRINCIPLES of NATIONHOOD of MALAYSIA.
The DECLARATION of the FIVE PRINCIPLES has been formulated as follows:
Our nation, Malaysia is dedicated to:
1. Achieving a greater unity for all her peoples;
2. Maintaining a democratic way of life;
3. Creating a just society in which the wealth of the nation shall be equitably distributed;
4. Ensuring a liberal approach to her rich and diverse cultural traditions; and
5. Building a progressive society which shall be orientated to modern science and technology.
We, her peoples, pledge our united efforts to attain these ends guided by these principles:
1. Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan (Belief in God)
2. Kesetiaan kepada Raja dan Negara (Loyalty to King and Country)
3. Keluhuran Perlembagaan (Supremacy of the Constitution)
4. Kedaulatan Undang-undang (Rule of Law)
5. Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan (Mutual Respect and Morality)

Hibiscus with various colors and shapes will BEAUTY UP the garden.
Hopefully the use of Hibiscus as the symbol of Malaysians will remind us that
the various ethics and backgrounds of us is making Malaysia so UNIQUE and RICH in CULTURES
I want to make a wish...
I wish EQUITY, RELIABLE, EFFICIENCY and TRANSPARENCY always exist among each of us ...
