Malaysia-Korea Joint Issue

Pos Malaysia and Korea Post jointly released a stamp issue on February 23, 2010. The stamp issue is also in commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of Malaysia-Korea Diplomatic Relations. Two similar stamps were released for each country. One stamp with image of Malayan tiger and the other with image of Korean (Siberian) tiger. Showing below is the stamp set from Korea Post. You may view the stamp set from Pos Malaysia here. The Malaysian stamps are more simple in design without the wording on the commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of Malaysia-Korea Diplomatic Relations. Honestly, I find the design of Malaysia stamps is much better than that of the Korean ones. What do you think?

Malaysia 2010 - Local Markets

Pos Malaysia released a set of four stamps and two miniature sheets on topic of local markets on March 23, 2010. The four stamps are printed in format of two setanat pairs with denominations of 30 sen and 50 sen. On the other hand, the two miniature sheets contain two stamps (denominations RM1 and RM2) each. The 30-sen stamps portray Pasar Siti Kahdijah in Kota Bharu, Kelantan; and the 50-sen stamps depict Pasar Kraftangan in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. The first miniature sheet portray Pekan Rabu in Alor Setar, Kedah; and the second miniature sheet depict Pasar Minggu Satok in Kuching, Sarawak.

Honestly, the design of this stamp issue is beautiful. The only thing I dislike is the colour border of the stamps and miniature sheets. I personally think that the stamps and miniature sheets would be more appealing if the border is white colour.

Germany Semi Postal Stamp - 1996

Below is a semi postal stamp of Germany on topic of "Preservation of Tropical Habitats" issued on July 18, 1996. There is a frog on the stamp, and I like frog stamps. This semi postal stamp contains not only image of frog but also bird, butterfly, insect, reptile, mammal, flower and a world map....... it has almost every thing for flora and fauna thematic collectors! This stamp really kills many birds with just one stone...... hehehehehehehe

Domestic Cover from Johor

I have been hunting for nice and clear postmark from Kluang, Johor for quite some time, maybe more than two years. All this while the postmark (machine cancellation) from Kluang was unclear. However, this time I've got a clear postmarked cover from Kluang, and the stamps used on the cover are Johor garden flower definitive stamps. I just love this cover...... it makes me happy..... hehehehehehehe
