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.

This contributed to the genetic diversity found in the world today, with genetic fragments of indigenous Malaysian populations detected in indigenous populations of eastern India.
