The Negeri Sembilan coat of arms and state emblem is based on Western heraldry, but consists of only two heraldic elements: The shield (escutcheon) and crest or helm; the motto of the Negeri Sembilan arms, normally included on the bottom as a scroll on the majority of Malaysia''s coats of arms, is embedded into the shield of the arms. Like the flag, the Negeri Sembilan coat of arms uttilises the colours black, red and yellow with the minor addition of white.
