Malaysia 2009 - Rights of the Child

Pos Malaysia released a set of 5 stamps on October 9, 2009 to commemorate 20th Anniversary of Convention on the Rights of the Child. One of the stamps with denomination RM1 is special because the stamp bares braille emboss. This is the first time for Malaysian stamp to have braille emboss. These stamps have also the inscription of UNICEF logo. They are simply gorgeous, I think.

The Largest Flower - Rafflesia arnoldii

There are over 20 Rafflesia species in the world. Rafflesia arnoldii is the largest flower species among the Rafflesia species. In fact, R. arnoldii is the largest flower in the world with diameter of the flower measuring up to 150cm. I recently acquired a stamp of Indonesia showing R. arnoldii. The stamp is part of the 10 stamp set of Indonesia-Japan joint issue released on April 15, 2008.
