The flag consists of a white emblem on a red background. The red background signifies the loyalty of the people of Kelantan. The white emblem stands for the sanctity of the office of the Ruler.
Thomas W. Koh, 14 May 1997
The emblem consists of a crescent, symbolising Islam; a star; two spears and two keris
or Malay daggers.
Giuseppe Bottasini, 13 August 1997
It appears that the emblem on most Kelantan flags is a simplified version of the arms on the Ceremonial Flag, sort of Kelantan's lesser arms. According to this webpage on the Kelantan Royal Net website, "the Spear and Daggers represent the strength of the Kelantan Malays; the crescent and star is the symbol of Islam, the state religion".

Kelantan's flag is fairly consistent in terms of how Malaysian manufacturers
print it. I haven't seen anything radically different since arriving here. The
defacement in this illustration is an exact copy of the flag in my collection.

Flaggen der Welt, aussereuropäsche Staaten",
edited between 1928 and 1932 according to the international boundaries in the
included map of the world, depicted in the ALBUM on p.6, image no.245,
Kelantan's shows more small details of the coat of arms and the points of the
star are connected with their opposite corners by red lines.
