logo	FMS coat of arms

The community logo is based on the coat of arms of the Federated Malay States? It combines all the colours from the flags of the constituent states:

Perak: White, yellow, black
Selangor: Red, yellow
Pahang: White, black
Negeri Sembilan: Yellow, red, black

The FMS coat of arms would eventually evolve into the coat of arms of Malaysia, with the FMS colours forming the core of the blazon.

There was this really hefty book, 'La Rosalie and other love songs', by Saidah Rastam, that went into this super extensively. I think it was made possible thanks to a Khazanah grant, and formed the basis of a stage show. I wish it could become a regular sort of show, like annually - it was an enjoyable presentation. But the book is where it's at - hella heavy too, lol.
