Hear this pageThe State Crest of Sarawak
Sarawak’s Crest features a symbolic wing-spread Kenyalang or Rhinoceros Hornbill with a shield bearing the state flag on its chest.
The hornbill's wings have 13 feathers, which represent the 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 banner bearing the words "Bersatu, Berusaha, Berbakti" (Unity, Effort, Service).
The State Crest was officially launched on the same day as the current State Flag.
