草稿:新加坡国家象征
新加坡共和国是东南亚的一个岛国，以下是新加坡公民认同的国家象征。
国旗[编辑]
新加坡国旗于1959年首次采用，同年新加坡在大英帝国统治下成立新加坡自治邦。这面旗帜于1965年8月9日新加坡共和国独立时，顺理成章成为新加坡国旗。
新加坡国旗又称星月旗，由红白双色平行条纹组成，左上角有一弯白色新月及五颗白色五角星；红色象征平等与友谊、白色象征纯洁与美德；新月代表新加坡是正在崛起的年轻国家，五颗五角星代表国家的五大理想：民主、和平、进步、公正和平等。[1] 新加坡国旗不能使用作为船旗，根据新加坡船舶的归属机构，进出新加坡海域的船舶必须悬挂适用的海旗，分别是商船旗、政府船旗或军舰旗。
国徽[编辑]
新加坡国徽于1959年采用，拥有与国旗相同的元素，中央的红色盾牌内缀五颗白色五角星，红色象征平等与友谊、白色象征纯洁与美德；并且尊重与马来亚的文化联系，站立在盾牌两旁的狮和虎，脚踩金叶，分别代表新加坡和马来西亚；徽章下面的蓝色缎带，用马来语书写金字“Majulah Singapura”（前进吧，新加坡）。虽然国徽仅限于新加坡政府使用，但它也应用在新加坡货币、勋章和护照。[2]
国歌[编辑]
"Majulah Singapura" ("Onward Singapore") is the national anthem of Singapore. Composed by Zubir Said in 1958 as a theme song for official functions of the City Council of Singapore, the song was selected in 1959 as the island's anthem when it attained self-government. Upon full independence in 1965, "Majulah Singapura" was formally adopted as Singapore's national anthem. By law the anthem may only be sung with its original Malay lyrics, although official translations exists in English, Mandarin and Tamil. Originally composed in the key of G major, in 2001 the national anthem was officially relaunched in the lower key of F major as this was said to allow for a "grander and more inspiring arrangement".
The national anthem is regularly performed or sung in schools and armed forces camps at ceremonies held at the beginning and/or the end of each day, during which the national flag is also raised and lowered and the national pledge is taken. Singaporeans are especially encouraged to sing the national anthem on occasions of national celebration or national significance such as at the National Day Parade, at National Day observance ceremonies conducted by educational institutions and government departments, and at sporting events at which Singapore teams are participating.
