Stamp Poll - Favourite Stamp Sets of Malaysia Issued in 2009

I put up a poll roughly one and a half months ago on the most favourite stamp sets of Malaysia issued in year 2009. Visitors to the blog were asked to choose three most favourite stamp sets. After one and a half long months of polling, 37 times of vote casting had been recorded. I noted that not all vote casting followed strictly the instruction (some only chose one stamp set). Nevertheless, I thank all of you who had taken part in the poll. Here is the result:




The Spider (Arachnid) stamp set is at the top of the ranking (17 votes), this followed closely by Unique Birds (15 votes) and the Traditional Houses (11 votes). The most unfavourite stamp set is the Installation of Yang Dipertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan (0 vote). The stamp set on Silver Jubilee of Sultan of Perak is also not doing well with only 1 vote. The other not popular stamp sets are Tuber Plants, Submarine and Zero Energy Building (2 votes each).

The Spider stamp set tops the list may due to the hexagon shaped of miniature sheet and the nice design of the stamps. The stamp set was the last issue of year 2009, and the collectors (strictly speaking the visitors who had taken part in the poll) have fresh memory of the stamp set. I would not be surprised to see the Unique Bird stamp set is also in the top list. The "error" miniature sheet must still have the effect on the mind of the vote casters! 1-Malaysia stamp set is attractive, and the stamps are just cute and the die-cut "1" shaped of miniature sheet tends to attract attention.

I shall conduct similar stamp poll for year 2010. I sincerely urge those who had taken part in this poll to continue doing so in the coming stamp poll (most likely I will put up the poll in the end of December 2010). Those who has not taken part are encouraged to do so for the next poll as well.

Happy collecting.......
