Poll Results: Most Favourite Stamp Issues For 2011

Consecutively for the third year I put up a poll asking visitors to this blog to vote on their most favourite Malaysia stamp issues. After roughly two weeks of poll race for the 14 stamp issues for year 2011, 94 times of vote casting had been recorded. Visitors were asked to choose three most favourite stamp issues. However, I noted that not all vote casting followed strictly the instruction (some only chose one or two stamp issues instead of three). Nevertheless, my great appreciations go to those who had taken part in the poll. The result from the poll is shown in the graph below.

It looks like the Personalised Stamps and Virtues issues had a close race, both of them top the list having 44 and 43 votes respectively. This is closely followed by Royal Institutions issue with 39 votes. Post Boxes issue is also not doing badly by having 27 votes. The Children’s Pets (20 votes), Highland Tourist Spots (18 votes), Aviation in Malaysia (16 votes) and Smart Tunnel (17 votes) issues are doing moderately. Spices (14 votes), Palaces (13 votes), Artifacts (8 votes), Malaysia-Indonesia Joint Issue (6 votes) are not that palatable. Suzuki Cup (3 votes) and Visual Arts – II (2 votes) issues are placed at the bottom of the list.

I think the stamp issues in year 2011 are average good, however, not having one or two outstanding issues. It is clearly demonstrated by the best choices (Personalised Stamps and Virtues) not having more than 50% votes (50% of 94 votes is 47). Some voters complained stamp set is nice but not the miniature sheet or vice versa for some stamp issues. So, they were having difficult time to make their choices. As for myself, I had chosen Children's Pets, Post Boxes and Highland Tourist Spot.

Different people have different preferences. We all have chosen what we like, and we respect each other's preferences.

I assure you that a similar stamp poll for year 2012 will be conducted. Please do come back to cast your votes in December 2012!

Happy collecting……………
