The State Crest


Sarawak’s Crest is represented by a symbolic figure of a wing-spread Kenyalang (Rhinoceros Hornbill) with a shield bearing the state flag on its chest. The Hornbill's tail and wings are comprised of thirteen feathers or strips that represent the thirteen states in Malaysia. The “Bunga Raya” (Hibiscus) – Malaysia’s national flower - appears on the right and left sides of the bird's legs. The Hornbill is perched on a ribbon bearing the words "Bersatu, Berusaha, Berbakti" (United, Industrious Dedicated). The State Crest became was officially launched on the same day as the current State Flag.
