Singapore has no single traditional dress; instead, its clothing reflects its multicultural heritage. Malay, Chinese, and Indian traditions all contribute to a rich tapestry of styles. Among them, the Kebaya is a popular women’s garment, while the Baju Kurung represents Malay heritage, and the Sari reflects the Indian community.
Flag: The national flag of Singapore features two horizontal bands of red over white. Red represents equality, while white symbolizes purity and virtue.
