  The PAP symbol, which is a red flash and blue circle on white, stands for action inside multicultural unity. It also appears on party flags on parades. PAP members at party rallies have customarily worn a uniform of white shirts and white trousers which symbolises incorruptibility and purity of the party's ideologies of the government. Lee Kuan Yew acknowledged that the Flash and Circle was adopted from the British Union of Fascists, but that the colors where changed to better represent the PAP.
