Kedah has a red flag with yellow shield over a green crescent surrounded by a yellow wreath in the canton.
Zeljko Heimer, 6 April 1996
At the top left hand corner, there is an emblem of a red crescent and green shield with wreath of yellow. The wreath is a wreath of paddy (or padi i.e. rice stalk) which is the State's principal product. The background is red which is the traditional colour of the State, signifying prosperity. The crescent signifies Islam. The shield symbolises the role of the sultan as the protector and guardian of his subjects and all inhabitants of the state from unjust government.

From the State of Kedah Official Website:
State Flag: The state flag features a red crescent moon below a green shield and is enveloped by a yellow wreath against a red background. Red is the traditional colour of the state and also signifies prosperity while the crescent moon is symbolic of Islam. The shield symbolises the Sultan of the state as the protector and guardian of his subjects.The flag there is more precise in my opinion than the one on FOTW, as the state emblem is also present on that page.Emblem: The wreath which consists of paddy seeds symbolises the state's principal agricultural commodity - rice. The crescent moon symbolises Islam while the shield represents the sovereign's authority.
