The flag of Bandung municipality in Jawa Barat province in Indonesia.
Valentin Poposki, 23 July 2005
The flag is a horizontal tricolour of green, yellow and blue.
Under
http://www.bandung.go.id/arti_lambangbr.htm you can find a description of
the arms, and the flag, unfortunately I don't know enough Bahasa Indonesia to be
able to translate the text.

Using the EWTranslite demo available at
http://www.ewgate.com/ewtranslite.html:
"Flag that is used by Bandung Kotamadya is that based by Decision Letter of
People's Representative Council of Daerah Sementara Kota Besar of Bandung drops
off 8 June of 1953 No. 9938/53.
"The flag is as being joined together at the Decision diktum to be topped as the
following:
"a. Flag that is used by Kota Besar of Bandung and three pieces of horizontal
stripe, each person consecutively from over GREEN stained under, YELLOW and BLUE
"b. Comparisons among its width and the stripes below a urutn's letters from
over under is 2:1:1;
"c. Comparison among long and its width differs from that 7:5."
So the flag might have three horizontal stripes green-yellow-blue in
proportions 2+1+1 and an overall ratio of 5:7.

This flag may exist on paper, but it isn't used regularly if at all. I spent
lots of "quality" time in city government offices and never once saw the green,
gold, and blue horizontal tri-bar although each office had multiple flag poles
available for flag display. I asked one official about the flag, and he had
never heard of it.

According to the official website,
http://www.bandung.go.id/?fa=pemerintah.detail&id=329, the flag was adopted
08.06.1953, together with the municipal coat of arms. The document bears Number
9938/53. However, the image of the flag now is different. The stripes are not
equal in height, but in the ratio 2:1:2.

In the Indonesian Army Museum in Jakarta (July 2007) was a flag display
(showing the real flag and a painted picture). The Tasik Malaya (West Java)
independence flag (Aug 7th 1949) is from Tasik Malaya's self-proclaimed
independence. It has 2:3 flag proportion, red over white charged with yellow
crescent and 5 pointed star in the center.

In the Indonesian Army Museum in Jakarta (July 2007) was a flag display
(showing the real flag and a painted picture). The date of independence for this
state was not written. The two flags are 2:3, one a red field charged with white
crescent and a 5 pointed star. The crescent is smaller than the
Turkish one. The other is a green field with same the
design.
