2012 - Stamp Week 2012

The below stamp set and miniature sheets were released on 19 November 2012. The stamps have central vertical fluorescent bar. If I am not mistaken, this is the first time for Malaysia stamps to have fluorescent bar. Contrarily, the miniature sheets were printed on SPM-watermarked paper. The stamps were printed by Joh Enschede Security Print (the Netherlands). On the other hand, the miniature sheets were printed by Security Printer Malaysia.

Two miniature sheets were released - normal one and overprint. The overprint miniature sheet contains wording OMG. I only realized much later that OMG does not stand for Oh My God but rather Oh Memang Gempa.... hihi
