Malaysia's flag uses the number 14 in several ways, representing the 13 independent states and the Federation. The Malayan flag had 11 points; when Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore joined to form Malaysia, the design changed to 14 points.
The name of the national flag is Jalur Gemilang meaning 'Stripes of Excellence (or Glory)'. It has 14 red and white stripes represent the 13 member states plus the Federal Government. The blue canton contains a 14 point star called Bintang Persekutuan, or Federal Star, representing unity between the 13 states and the Federal Government.
