SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): The national pledge, national flower Vanda Miss Joaquim, lion head and public seal will be formally recognised as national symbols alongside the state flag, state crest and national anthem, after Parliament passed changes to the law on Tuesday (Sept 13).

The changes provide for more flexibility in how symbols such as the flag can be used, while raising penalties for abuse.
