From the Royal Malaysian Police website (my translation):

A flag is a symbol of excellence and pride for an armed uniformed organisation like the Royal Malaysian Police. The flag of the Royal Malaysian Police is called Sang Saka Biru [I cannot translate this term]. The colour blue is chosen as it is the common colour among most of the police forces around the world. Blue represents peace, well-being and stability that is the main aim of a police force.

There was also an entry on the colours of the Royal Malaysian Police. The text beneath the logo reads Sang Saka Biru which is the name of the flag — ostensibly this name seems to interchangeable between the flag and the colours. (...)

The calligraphic rendition of the name of Allah represents the element of piety as the symbol of sovereignty of Islam. The Crown represents the devotion to the holiness and omnipotence of Allah; it also represents our loyalty and honour of HM the Yang Dipertuan Agong who invested the 'Royal' title to the Police Force. The Keris (dagger on the left hand side) represents Peninsular Malaysia. The Parang Elang or Kelewang [dagger on the right hand side, literally means Eagle Sword] represents the states of Sabah and Sarawak. The Tiger represents bravery and agility in facing challenges from the enemy. The Rice Stalks represent the staple food of the nation and symbolises the prosperity of the nation. The motto 'POLIS DIRAJA MALAYSIA' (Royal Malaysian Police) represents
