Malaysia Stamps - Year 1966

There is a stamp collector who collects stamps issued in Year 1966. Out of my own curiosity, I checked the Malaysia Stamp catalogue to see what stamps were issued in 1966 and scanned these 4 sets of stamps from my own collection. For your viewing pleasure and perhaps bring back some fond philatelic memories.

1) Feb 24, 1966 - National Monument, Kuala Lumpur




2) Apr 11, 1966 - Installation of Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Tunku Ismail Nasiruddin Shah




3) Oct 21, 1966 - 150th Anniversary of Penang Free School




4) Dec 1, 1966 - First Malaysia Plan - Agriculture, Rural Health, Communications, Education, Irrigation

1Malaysia Collection - November 10, 2010 Issue

I created this FDC for my collection at George Town General Post Office at Downing Street, Penang Island. As you can see, the stamps are not very attractive and the sub-themes are rather confusing - rojak. I was surprised that I went on Nov 11, 2010, the day after issue, and there are still stamps sold at the Komtar Post Office and so it was not a quick sell out.

Malaysia - Heritage Of Pahang Darul Makmur - October 24, 2010 Issue

As I was out of the country when the stamps were issued, I later bought these stamps from a stamp dealer. Glad we have stamp dealers in Penang as often, new stamps are sold out by the first day of issue and there is no Philatelic Bureau in Penang where there is ample stock of new stamps for collector to buy the days after issue. Of course, for FDC, one can have set up a SODA account and order FDC to be delivered by mail but where is the fun.

This set of stamps are larger than usual.

North Korea 3D Tiger Miniature Sheet Stamp

The picture here does not do it justice but I bought this nice plastic sheet hologram that gives a great 3D depth of this tiger stamp from the North Korea Pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. Great addition to my Year of Tiger stamp though not sure how this stamp can be postmarked or paste on an envelope. I have an extra to trade.

An addition to Year of Tiger stamps collection.

Year of Tiger Stamp - Vanuatu

I got this Vanuatu Miniature Stamp of Year of Tiger 2010 at South Pacific Oceanic Joint Pavilion at 2010 Shanghai World Expo in October 2010. I bought an extra for trade. If you are interested to trade, please contact me by email.
