centering on Perlis' monarch and agricultural activities, its flag and arms are similar in symbolisation as the state symbols of Kedah, which it neighbours.

The Raja of Perlis flies his own Royal Standard, consisting of only a yellow flag with the state's coat of arms in green.

[1] The yellow, like the Royal Standard of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and Perlis' state flag, represents royalty, while the emblem identifies the Standard with Perlis' Raja.

A plain white flag with "Perlis" written in Jawi was previously used as the monarch's Royal Standard.

[1] The coat of arms of Perlis, significantly different from the state flag, is illustrated in green and yellow, and consists of only two heraldic elements, a shield and a wreath, which nearly envelops the shield.
