Johore has a blue flag, with a big red canton with white crescent and five-pointed star, pointing in lower fly end.

Zeljko Heimer, 6 April 1996

The flag consists of a white crescent and a star of five points on a red field at the canton and navy blue at the fly. The white denotes a sovereign ruler, red a warrior and blue the universe. This flag is very much associated with the Sultan.

Thomas W. Koh, 14 May 1997

Flaggenbuch 1939 shows the State (Service) flag as a blue flag with a red canton (2/3 of the hoist x 1/2 of the fly) bearing a white crescent and a white 5-pointed star. Quite similar to the current national flag, but with nearly [horizontally-]symmetrical crescent.

Flaggenbuch 1939 shows the Standard of the Sultan's Marshall as a black swallowtailed flag with a red canton (1/2 of the hoist high x 1/2 of the fly) bearing a white crescent and a white 5-pointed star. The fork does not reach the canton.

Editor's note: compare this flag with the Civil Flag and Ensign.

Whitney Smith writes in the last release of Ar Banniel, "20. Trumong (Indonesia). Plain black with a small square white canton. Also used by Johore (Malaysia) in 1855-1865".
