The stamp issue entitled "750 Years of Melaka" was released on 7 Oct 2012 (Sunday). However, post offices nationwide only sold the philatelic products of this stamp issue on 8 Oct 2012 (Monday). The stamp issue was released in conjunction of a stamp exhibition organised by Philatelic Society of Malaysia on 7-13 Oct 2012 in Melaka, and the stamps started being sold on 7 Oct 2012 at the stamp exhibition venue. This stamp issue comes with a set of two stamps and a miniature sheet. In additional to these, an overprint miniature sheet was also released. However, this overprint miniature sheet was only sold at the exhibition stamp, not post offices nationwide.
