2006 proposal
A new national flag was proposed on November 10, 2006, during a constitutional convention. The new flag would compose of three equally sized green, yellow, and red horizontal stripes, with a white star in the hoist end of the green stripe. Green represents peace, tranquility and the country's lush and verdant environment; yellow represents solidarity; while red represents valor and decisiveness. The star represents "the perpetual existence of the consolidated Union."[1] A constitutional convention is a gathering of delegates for the purpose of writing a new constitution or revising an existing constitution. ...
The proposal for changing the flag was put forward by a commission working under the National Convention, held in Nyaung Hna Pin. However, a few days later, state media reported that the delegates of the National Convention rejected the notion for changing the flag.
