[edit] Federal Territories
A common flag for the three federal territories was adopted by the Ministry of the Federal Territories on 20 August 2006. The flag is to be used and flown on matters and ceremonies that would involved all the federal territories as a whole. An example would be for the participations in national sporting events, the unified contingent of the territories would be under this common flag. Just like in other states, where the national flag is almost always flown the state flag, federal territories too fly the flag, however, in Kuala Lumpur, many have concluded that the flag looks too much like the national flag, and as such, it is more common to see the federal territory flag with the national flag instead of the Kuala Lumpur flag
