ANGELA  Lansbury earing the colours of the Polish flag, white above red.   In Singapore I wore a red top and white skirt for Singapore's national day. The colours are in the opposite positions to Poland's flag. In Singapore the red, lucky to Chinese cultures, is at the top. The additional moon n is a Muslim symbol because Singapore was oriinally part of Malaya until the two separated into Malaysia and Singapore. In the UK for a speech on Poland I wore a wwhite blouse with a red skirt. No shortage of food in red and white if you ever want a red and white themed meeting. Wines are red and white too. FlAG OF IiNDONESIA The flag of Indonesia is like Singapore's with the red above and the white below.\ Your red and white outfits can be worn for Polish occasionas, Singapore national Day in August, Indonesian occasionas, Christmas, and Valentine's Day.
