Malaysia Stamps - Rivers in Malaysia - February 27, 2018 Issue

In Malay language, sungai is river. As I could not visit Sungai Pahang, Sungai Kinabatangan and Sungai Rajang, I visited instead Sungai Petani Post Office (Kedah)and Sungai Bakap Post Office, Sungai Dua Post Office and Sungai Puyu Mini Post Office (all in Penang) to get First Day Cover and post office cancellations.

I included Thailand longest stamp as comparison too.

Also collected from others First Day Cover cancellations from Kuantan General Post Office and Kuching General Post Office. Enjoy river viewing.

Malaysia Stamps - Ornamental Fish - January 30, 2018 Issue

Keeping fresh water aquarium fish had been a childhood hobby. The 4 fishes shown are Harlequin rasbora, Pearl gourami, Malaysian Mahseer or Kelah or Wangbuliao which is an expensive edible fish too, and Golden Arowana kept for good fortune by business community and homes.

I visited 4 post offices in 3 states. PULAU PINANG - George Town General Post Office in Penang Island; TAMAN CHAI LENG in Penang Mainland as "CHAI LENG" sounds like "kim leng" - the Chinese Hokkein pronounciation of golden arowana; SUNGAI PETANI in Kedah as "Sungai" is "River" in Malay; and PARIT BUNTAR in Perak as "Parit" is "Drain or Canal" in Malay. Freshwater fish lives in rivers and drains/canals.

I also included the previous 2016 stamp issue of Seven Wonders of Malaysia's Flora & Fauna of Malaysian Mahseer (Kelah )to create hybrid FDC. Enjoy viewing.

Malaysia Stamps - Working Dogs (Year of Dog) - January 18, 2018 Issue

I enjoyed creating different First Day Covers at Penang General Post Office and Dato Kramat Post Office for my own collection. This is the batch. Will upload more different versions later. Enjoy viewing.
