The National Crest of Brunei Darussalam has developed from a Royal emblem and in its original form still maintains its status as one of the Royal emblems
Bendera - the flag
Payung Ubor-Ubor - the Royal Umbrella
Sayap - the wing
Tangan (Kimhap) - the hand
Bulan - the crescent
Bulan - the crescent - is the symbol of Islam, the national religion of Brunei Darussalam.
The characters inscribed on the crescent is the National slogan, "Always in service with God's guidance" (Allah guidance)
The Bendera and Payung Ubor-Ubor have been Royal regalia's since the creation of the crest. The Sayap - the wing of four feathers - symbolizes the protection of justice, tranquility, prosperity and peace
Tangan or Kimhap - the hand - signifies the Government's pledge to promote welfare, peace and prosperity. The scroll beneath the crest reads "Brunei Darussalam" which means "Brunei, the abode of peace"
