I feel a sense of sadness when I look into these stamps..... the beautiful forest habitat is being cleared, and the tapir family (the mother, the father and the baby tapir) are wandering at the edge of forest looking at the tractor (60s stamp)..... so sad :(. Just look at the green sea turtle on the 70s stamp, I feel so hurt to see the fishing net tighting up the dying green sea turtle..... I feel like jumping into the sea to cut off the fishing net to release the green sea turtle. Oh, the otter is dying of hunger because the fishes in the river are all dead due to pollution (80s stamp).... sigh...
Worth to mention on this stamp issue is that this is the first stamp issue after the new postal tariff (July 1, 2010). The normal denominations 30s and 50s are now replaced by 60s and 80s. I was just a bit curious why denomination 70s appears on the stamp set, I could have speculated RM1 instead. Perhaps, issueing RM1 would make the stamp set a bit more expensive, and Pos Malaysia may just be considerable on the collector side not to issue RM1 stamp. Or perhaps, the 70s stamp is a nice value to combine with 80s to make it up to RM1.50 for Eupore rate (20 gram), to combine with 60s to make up to RM1.30 for Asia rate (30 gram) and to combine itself (2 pieces of 70s stamps) to make up to RM1.40 for Australia/New Zealand/Japan rate (20 gram)...... or maybe some other reasons.....
