Just received news that our country's flag has changed officially. And I say this here, and I say it loud: I DON'T LIKE THE NEW FLAG!!!
I feel no patriotism when I see this. And the color scheme is the same as Lithuanian flag minus the star, though the hue is different.
I am not the only one who feels like this though. Many are outraged. Personally, I feel like it is an insult.
"looks like a cheap amateurish crap that came out from MS Paint" - my friend's words: not mine.
This is the old flag. Blue stands for peace and stability, red stands for courage and bravery, 14 stars for the 14 states and divisions, the pinion stands for the work force of the country, and the rice stalk stands for the farmers in the country. I love this flag, and it will always be the flag of my country, no matter how much they change it.

It looks like the Vietnamese flag. Maybe they want to be Việt Nam?
What the!!...They can't change it yet. Man I hate that flag. Looks like Ethiopian flag or Ghana flag. So the name has changed to RUM (Republic of the Union of MM) too? I thought it would only be changed after all the 7 step has taken place. And that's after the parliament's been called.
@cafengocmy - It looks like a lot of African nation's flags too. With the flag before, Taiwan was the only country whose flag looked like ours. Now, it's about 3 or 4 flags: Ghana, Ethiopia, Lithuania, etc.
@awoolham - couldn't agree with you more. I don't even know what the new colours represents.
@ei_angel - I thought the same too. I thought the national flag, and the emblem doesn't change until after the election of the President!
so good at plagiarism, including copying flags. Maybe the inspiration came from one of the drawings of the grandchildren who was testing the crayons. Just a thought.
what is shwe? and what is the new colors/symbols "really" supposed to mean? Just wondering.
I, too hate the new flag! The "original" one will always be Myanmar flag to me as well!
