Stamps with Beautiful Tab
This stamp set was released in 1999. I like the format of these stamps with beautiful tab. Beautiful tab attached to stamp is a very common format used in stamps of Israel. I hope Pos Malaysia would issue more stamps with beautiful tab....

Nice Stamps from Malaysia
The below stamp set was issued in 1998. I like these stamps.... I normally take the train (Komuter Tren; shown in the RM1 stamp) to go to Kuala Lumpur, particularly General Post Office KL to buy stamps.

How Many Years, Actually?
Pos Malaysia released a set of three stamps on July 7, 2011 to commemorate 100 Years of Aviation in Malaysia (click here to see the stamps). So, in year 2011 Malaysian aviation is celebrating 100 years. But, hold on.... in 1997, Pos Malaysia also issued a set of three stamps entitled 50 Years of Aviation in Malaysia (see the stamp image below). The gap between 2011 and 1997 is just 14 years.... but the time gap between 50th anniversary and 100th anniversary is 50 years.... Now, I'm really really confused.....
A Great Day......
It is a great day for me today. I must thank my parents for giving me life to see this beautiful world.....

2011 - Phila Nippon '11 Overprint on KTM MS
Pos Malaysia released an overprint on miniature sheet for the stamp exhibition Phila Nippon 11'. The stamp exhibition was held in Japan in August 2011. The overprint was done on the KTM miniature sheet of that issued in 2010 (click here to see this original miniature sheet). This KTM miniature sheet was also overprinted previously for stamp exhibition Bangkok 2010 (click here to see this Bangkok 2010 overprint). So, this is the first time Pos Malaysia made overprint twice on the same miniature sheet.
