The national arms were adopted in 1959.
 
The arms are derived from the national flag and show the nation (moon) pursuing five ideals : democracy, freedom, prosperity, justice and health. The lion represents the name of the country (lion-city), the tiger the relation with [[Malaysia]].
 
The motto ''Majulah Singapura'' is Malay for "Onward Singapore" and was derived from the arms of the city from 1948 (see below).
 
====Colonial arms====

The above arms were used for the town and colony of Singapore from 1913 to 1948. In 1948 the city of Singapore received new arms (see below) and the arms were used for the colony as such, until the adoption of the national arms in 1959. The above arms were also part of the arms of the [[Straits Settlements]].
