Visit Selangor 2025 - Fun Stuff

I created two fun items from the products of Visit Selangor 2025. One is made from Visit Selangor 2025 Guide folded leaflet and the other is made from Visit Selangor 2025 paper bag. These guide leaflet and bag paper were acquired as a gift from Visit Selangor 2025 booth during the recent MATTA Fair 2025.

I stuck a Visit Selangor 2025 stamp on one page of the folded leaflet of Visit Selangor 2025 Guide. Then I cancelled the stamp using special first day postmark of the stamp from Kajang Post Office.
