Our timeless national icons


Hibiscus flowers blooming brightly at the Taman Persekutuan Bukit Kiara in Kuala Lumpur. The park is managed and maintained by the National Landscape Department.

More needs to be done to promote Malaysia’s symbols – our national flower, the hibiscus, and the merbau as our national tree. The National Landscape Department is urging local authorities to grow more hibiscus along roads and in places of interest while it will also promote the merbau tree as part of our natural heritage.

MALAYSIA’S national flower, the regal bunga raya or hibiscus, deserves to be in full bloom in our own country.
