@uudrakgvens94 Islam is a major religion here! 15% of Singaporeans are Muslims.
The crescent moon *originated* to represent the Muslim community and the five stars, the Chinese population.
Statute defines the crescent moon to *symbolise* a rising young nation and the five stars, the values of democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality.
It's true we have a moon "like muslim countries" but today, Singaporeans identify more strongly with the symbolism than the origins of the flag.

While the moon did come about "like muslim countries", today, we identify more strongly with the symbolism than the origins of the flag.

@Azhari1998 Yeah this part's fairly easy to mix up.
a question , why singapore has a moon in her flag like muslim countries if according to stastics there are no muslims in singapore?

Singapore is 15% muslim, and the crescent moon was added to the flag to reassure the Malay population that Singapore wasn't going communist in the new flag (having only 3 stars, similar to the Malayan communists, or 5 stars, similar to China, would provoke unease).

actually, the crescent moon is to signify a young nation rising, while the 5 stars represent our country's values: democracy, justice, equality, prosperity/peace and progress.
it had nothing to do with communism.

you're absolutely right, but the origin of the moon and the 5 stars were as described in the initial reply; i.e. having only 3/5 stars without a moon, especially with a red background would be a terrible idea. This was as described by Toh Chin Chye, who was part of the committee to decide on a flag.
