Coat of Arms of Sabah 1963-1982 (Malaysia) T-Shirt: Design Details
This t-shirt showcases the historical Coat of Arms of Sabah, used during the formative years of the state's incorporation into Malaysia, from 1963 to 1982.
Shield and Crest
The central element of the design is the shield (escutcheon), drawing inspiration from the British North Borneo Chartered Company's colonial-era arms. Above the shield, the crest presents a unique visual feature: two human arms holding a flagstaff.
Symbolism of Arms and Flag
The arms within the crest are symbolic. One is "vested" (sleeved), while the other is bare, mirroring the design of the earlier colonial coat-of-arms. The flag on the flagstaff bears the state flag of Sabah as it was used at the time.
Motto and Meaning
Below the shield, the motto "Sabah Maju Jaya" is prominently displayed. This phrase, meaning "Sabah Progress/Prosper," conveys the aspiration for the state's growth and success.
Historical Significance
The overall heraldic design reflects a continuity from the colonial period to Sabah's transition into Malaysian statehood. It represents the historical shift and the new era for Sabah within the Federation of Malaysia.
