The flag of Penang consists of three vertical bands and an areca-nut palm on a grassy mount in the centre. The blue denotes the sea that surrounds Penang Island, white represents peace and yellow for the prosperity of the state.

The areca-nut palm, known as pokok pinang in Malay, symbolises the tree from which Penang got its name.

Further details about the congress will be announced here when confirmed.
