This is the State Ensign according to Smith 1975 [smi75c] and Album des Pavillons 1990 [pie90].

From my observations as a Singaporean, the State Ensign has been used only by the Singapore Police Coast Guard (a branch of the Singapore Police Force), aboard their naval vessels.

The blue State Ensign was formerly used by our Navy upon independence and up to 5th May 1967 when our Navy was granted the white War Ensign (ratio 1:2) which doubled up as the land-based Navy Flag (ratio 2:3). The blue State Ensign is now flown by our Police Coast Guard vessels.
