Flag of "Harimau Menerkam",Kedah Darul Aman - (Bendera Harimau Menerkam)

During the beginning of the 18th century, Kedah's flag only consists of a plain red field. In 1821, the flag was changed to be charged with a yellow tiger. This flag came to be known as the "harimau terkam" (pouncing tiger) or "harimau melompat" (jumping tiger) flag. The flag was used during Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin Halim Shah II's reign, and was raised on top of the Kota Kedah before the Siam capture of the fort and occupation of the sultanate during which they took down the flag. The flag went on being used by the Sultan's troops while recapturing the land and remained as the state flag until 1912 when it was changed to instead be charged with the state arms on the upper hoist.
(Ketika awal abad ke-18, bendera Kedah hanya berupakan bendera merah sepenuhnya. Pada awal abad ke-19, sebuah bendera baharu diguna pakai. Bendera itu gambaran menampilkan seekor harimau berwarna kuning berlatarbelakangkan warna merah seperti bendera sebelumnya. Gambaran bendera itu memperlihatkan harimau seolah-olah menerkam sesuatu, dan oleh itu, digelar sebagai bendera "harimau terkam" serta "harimau melompat". Bendera ini digunakan hingga bendera terkini mula digunakan pada awal abad ke-20. )
