Pos Malaysia released yesterday (13 January 2013; Sunday) its first stamp issue (Woodpeckers) for year 2013. However, most post offices nationwide sold the stamps on 14 January 2013. Three different stamps and a miniature sheet depicting different woodpecker species were released. To be honest, the stamps and miniature sheet are nicely designed. The only thing I don't feel good enough is the colour of the stamps and miniature sheet not saturated enough, making the stamps and miniature sheet look a bit dull.
Surprisingly, this stamp issue did not attract much crowd in post offices nationwide today. Maybe, most small time collectors (and also non-collectors) are waiting for the coming stamp issue in conjunction of Year of Snake (not really a zodiac stamp issue).
