English: The coat of arms of Malaysia used between 1963 and 1965, when Singapore was a state within the Federation of Malaysia. The elements of the coat of arms are as follows:

Crest. The crest consists of a yellow crescent and yellow 14-pointed "Federal Star" (Bintang Persekutuan). The yellow colour represents the monarchy of the country, the crescent represents Islam which is the official religion, and the points of the star represent the states of Malaysia.
Escutcheon. The escutcheon or shield consists of a chief (upper portion) and a lower section that is divided in three per pale (longitudinally).
- Chief. The chief of the escutcheon is gules (red) charged with five krises (Malay daggers), representing the five former Unfederated Malay States: Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu and Perlis.
- Dexter (left side from the observer's point of view). In the dexter section is the escutcheon of the former coat of arms of Penang which was blazoned "Barry wavy of eight Azure and Argent upon a chief crenellée Or a plume of three ostrich feathers surmounted by a riband of the First on the riband the words Ich Dien in letters of the Third". The Prince of Wales's feathers and the motto "Ich Dien" ("I serve") refer to Penang's founding in 1786 as Prince of Wales Island, while the blue and white bars refer to the Straits of Malacca which surround the island.
- Upper middle section. In the upper middle section below the chief are the colours of the Federated Malay States (red, black, white and yellow) arranged from left to right. The permutations of the colours make up the colours of these states' flags: red, black and yellow for Negeri Sembilan; black and white for Pahang; black, white and yellow for Perak; and red and yellow for Selangor.
- Lower middle section. In the lower middle section are three sections representing the new states of Sabah, Singapore and Sarawak which joined the Federation of Malaysia in 1963.
  - Sabah. The section representing Sabah is a crest from the coat of arms of the British North Borneo Chartered Company which consists of two human arms grasping a flag flowing to the sinister (right from the observer's point of view). The arm on the right is in a sleeve and appears to represent a white person, while the arm on the left is bare and has darker skin which may represent an indigenous Malay person. The flag appears to be the flag of Sabah used between 1963 and 1982.
  - Singapore. The section representing Singapore consists of a white crescent below a pentagon of five white five-pointed stars, which are from the flag of Singapore. The waxing crescent moon represents a young state on the ascendant, and the five stars the state's ideals of democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality.
  - Sarawak. The section representing Sarawak is based on the flag of Sarawak used between 1963 and 1973 which consists of a half-black, half-red cross on a yellow field defaced with a five-pointed Eastern crown.
- Sinister (right side from the observer's point of view). In the sinister section is a Malacca tree (Phyllanthus emblica), after which the state was named.
- Supporters. The two rampant tigers supporting the escutcheon are traditional Malay symbols. They were retained from the earlier armourial ensigns of the Federated Malay States and Federation of Malaya, and symbolise strength and courage.
Motto. The motto is "Bersekutu Bertambah Mutu" ("Unity is Strength") in both Latin script and Jawi script.
