First Day Cover - World Post Day 2026

First Day Cover - World Post Day 2026

This first day cover is cancelled with Kuala Lumpur pictorial postmark (9 October 2026) and a Pos Malaysia's catcher (Pos Malaysia van with a hand-waving postman). Actually, the catcher was provided by Pos Malaysia for the Visit Johor Year stamp issue. However, this catcher looks more relevant for World Post Day 2026..... :) :) :)

First Day Cover - Malaysia Day 2026

First Day Cover - Malaysia Day 2026

Pos Malaysia in collaboration with APOM (A Piece of Malaysia) issued the Malaysia Day 2026 stamps (click here to view the stamp set) on 16 September 2026. Pos Malaysia provided the pictorial first day cancellation, and at the same APOM provided 15 different big catchers for stamping purpose. These 14 big catchers match well the 14 stamps (according to the 13 states and Kuala Lumpur) of Malaysia Day 2026 stamps. The other big catcher is just a main catcher (EMPAT BELAS 2026) for the 14-state catchers. These 15 big catchers were available at the APOM shop in Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad, Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur. I made use of these 15 big catchers to create 14 special FDCs for my collection. I cancelled the stamps with Kuala Lumpur pictorial first day chop (16 September 2026).
