SELANGOR

Origin/meaning

Selangor does not use arms, but the above logo.

The crescent moon and star in the centre represent Islam. The red spear (tombak) in the centre is called the Sambu Warna. The emblem is supported by a short kris (keris pendek) on the left and a long kris (keris panjang) on the right. These weapons constitute the royal regalia of the state.

The motto of the state is written in the Jawi script in red, and it reads Dipelihara Allah or "Under the Protection of Allah". A broad belt (tali bengkung) appears underneath the motto. It was worn by local warriors of the past to secure their waistcloth.
