The Naitional Emblem an Coat o Airms o Malaysie (Jata Negara in Malay) is a coat o airms comprisin a shield or escutcheon, twa teigers for supporters, a crescent an fowerteen pynt starn for a crest an a motto).
As the Malaysian emblem descendit frae the coat o airms o the Federatit Malay States unner Breetish colonial rule, the current emblem o the Malaysian state resembles European heraldic practices.
The Naitional Emblem o Malaysie consists o a shield guarded bi twa supporters as rampant teegers. The shield is heidit bi a crest consistin o a yellae crescent wi a 14-pointit "federal starn", an includes a motto, depictit as a banner, at the bottom.
The yellae colour o the crest, a crescent an a 14-pointit federal star, seembolises the kintra's monarchy. The crescent an aa represents Islam as the offeecial releegion while the federal starn represents the thirteen states an the Federal Territories o Malaysie.
Oreeginally, the fowerteen-pointit starn representit the oreeginal fowerteen states o Malaysie, which includit Singapore. It wisnae chynged whan Singapore left the federation, but it haes generally been acceptit that the 14t pynt represents the Federal Territories.
The escutcheon, representit bi a shield, is primarily intendit tae ser as a representation o states unified unner the Malaysian federation, an is subdivided intae ten diveesions.
The upper portion or chief o the shield contains five krises on a reid backgrund, representin the five umwhile Unfederatit Malay States, Johore, Terengganu, Kelantan, Kedah an Perlis. The remainder o the shield, that in the coat o airms o Malaya wis dividit in three per pale (longitudinally) atween the umwhile Federatit Malay States, Penang an Malacca, is nou dividit intae fower sections:
The twa rampant teegers supportin the shield are traditional Malay seembols. Thay are retained frae the earlier armorial ensign o the Federation o Malaya, an prior tae that o the Federatit Malay States. Thay seembolise strenth an courage.
The motto o the airms, locatit belaw the shield, consists o a banner wi the phrase "Unity is Strenth" (Bersekutu Bertambah Mutu) written in baith romanized Malay an Jawi. The oreeginal Inglis phrase wis replaced bi romanised Malay some time efter unthirldom.
