The Flame

A universal symbol of passion and excellence, the weaving flame, representing the colors in the Malaysian flag, symbolizes a united region and the coming together of Southeast Asia's best athletes. The rings at the trip of the flame represent the logo of the Southeast Asia Games Federation.

Si Tumas-The Mascot

Si Tumas, the fun-loving energetic, fast-moving and friendly squirrel is a suitable mascot of the SEA Games. Its gold coloring signifies winning; it's name SI is phonetically similar to SEA and is a friendly form of address in Malay. TU is the first part of Tupai, which is Squirrel in Malay and MAS, comes from the word EMAS, gold in Malay, hence SI TUMAS.
