2008 - Historical Bridges of Malaysia

Pos Malaysia released her first stamp issue for year 2008 on 28 February 2008. Four stamps depicting four historical bridges in Malaysia were issued. The 30 sen stamp has an image of Mederka Bridge in Kedah spanning Muda river (built in 1955). There were two different 50 sen stamps in this set. One 50 sen stamp portrays Victoria Bridge in Perak spanning Perak river at Karai (built in 1897), and the other 50 sen stamp shows Kota Bridge in Selangor spanning Klang river at Klang (built in 1907). The bridge portrayed in RM1 stamp is Sungai Segamat Bridge in Johor which spans Segamat river (built in 1933). The size of the stamps is 50mm x 30mm which is considered large format stamp size for Malaysian modern stamps. I'm personally quite impressed by the design of the stamps. I have to say that this set of stamps is one of the most beautiful stamp sets for Malaysian modern issues. Well done Pos Malaysia.
