Malaysia 2010 - Local Markets

Pos Malaysia released a set of four stamps and two miniature sheets on topic of local markets on March 23, 2010. The four stamps are printed in format of two setanat pairs with denominations of 30 sen and 50 sen. On the other hand, the two miniature sheets contain two stamps (denominations RM1 and RM2) each. The 30-sen stamps portray Pasar Siti Kahdijah in Kota Bharu, Kelantan; and the 50-sen stamps depict Pasar Kraftangan in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. The first miniature sheet portray Pekan Rabu in Alor Setar, Kedah; and the second miniature sheet depict Pasar Minggu Satok in Kuching, Sarawak.

Honestly, the design of this stamp issue is beautiful. The only thing I dislike is the colour border of the stamps and miniature sheets. I personally think that the stamps and miniature sheets would be more appealing if the border is white colour.
