The orang-utans are considered as exclusive great apes of Asia. They are native to Malaysia and Indonesia.
Orang-utans can be separated into two species: the Borne an orang-utan and the Sumatran orang-utan.
Orang-utans are arboreal creatures – they spend most of their time in trees. The term for orang-utan comes
from the Malay and Indonesia words orang meaning “person” and “hutan” meaning “forest".
They have reddish-brown or orangish long hair. Males and females differ in size and appearance.
Dominant adult males have distinctive cheek pads and produce long calls that attract females and intimidate
rivals. The "long call" can be heard 1.2 miles (2 kilometres) away. Younger males do not have these
characteristics and resemble adult females. . Orang-utans are more recluse than other apes. Males are loners.
They are highly intelligent; they use a variety of sophisticated tools and construct elaborate sleeping nests
each night from branches and foliage. They use large leaves as umbrellas and shelters to protect themselves
from the common rains. They forage for food during daylight hours. Most of their diet consists of fruit
and leaves gathered from rain forest trees. They also eat bark, insects and, on rare occasions, meat.
Conversion of vast areas of tropical forest to palm oil plantations, hunting and the illegal pet have rapidly
decreased the Orang-utans habitat. A number of organisations are working for the rescue, rehabilitation and
reintroduction of orang-utans. The largest of these is the Borneo Orang-utan Survival Foundation, founded
by conservationist Willie Smits.

The flag of Malaysia, which was first raised on 16 September 1963,

originated from the flag of the Federation of Malaya. The Malayan flag was designed

by Mohamed Hamzah, a 29-year-old architect working for the Public Works Department

(JKR) in Johor Baharu, Johore. The Malayan flag was approved by King George VI on 19

May 1950 and was first raised in front of Istana Selangor on 26 May 1950. On 31 August

1957, it was raised upon independence at Merdeka Square in place of the British Union

Flag. In 1997, Malaysia’s former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir bin Mohammad picked the

name Jalur Gemilang to project the country's onward drive towards continuous growth

and success.

The Jalur Gemilang comprises a field of 14 alternating red and white stripes along

the fly and a blue canton bearing a crescent and a 14-point star known as the Bintang

Persekutuan (Federal Star). The 14 stripes, of equal width, represent the equal status in the

federation of the 13 member states and the federal government, while the 14 points of

the star represent the unity between these entities. The crescent represents Islam, the

country's official religion; the blue canton symbolises the unity of the Malaysian people;

the yellow of the star and crescent is the royal colour of the Malay rulers.

During the National Day celebrations, everyone is encouraged to fly the Jalur

Gemilang at their homes, office buildings, shops and corporate premises.If the flag is

fixed at home, it is to be raised pointing towards the road.If the flag is put in a group of

flags with state and private company flags, the Malaysian flag must be raised in between

two flags and its pole placed higher than the rest.
