So, in 1959, Toh Chin Chye chaired a team to design our Singapore Flag. But he didn’t like it. Anyone knows what were they other flag prototypes that team came out with?

So NHB quoted Mr Toh here and it writes,

“To ensure that the flag would not be confused with those of other nations, Dr Toh studied the flags of countries represented in the United Nations and showed the Cabinet various designs for their consideration. He was initially not in favour of a red and white colour scheme, as he explained in an oral history interview with the National Archives of Singapore (at 1989):

"I had produced prototypes with different colours for the Cabinet to decide. I explained to them why we cannot use red and white, white and red. White above red is the flag of Poland. Red above white is the flag of Indonesia."”

So my question is, does anyone know what were the other flag prototypes, before our current flag was chosen?
