🇲🇲 Myanmar Post will issue a single very colourful stamp on 9 October 2019 to commemorate World Post Day as well as the 145th anniversary of the Universal Postal Union (UPU). This is a very eye-catching design. Rating:- *****.
🇲🇾 Pos Malaysia will issue 2 stamps on 9 October 2019 to commemorate the 50th World Post Day. I like this appealing pair of designs with classically red post boxes with exotic scenes in the background. Rating:- ****.

In Blog 1511 I mentioned 6 stamps issued by Sri Lanka Post on 5 October 2019 which depict local wildlife and released on th first day of the National Stamp exhibition. The stamps were accompanied by 6 single stamp miniature sheets, each one containing one of the stamps issued in ordinary sheets. The issue in fact is on the subject of Wasgamuwa National Park.

The miniature sheet issued by Sri Lanka Post to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Birth of Mahatma Gandhi was also reissued on 5 October 2019 with an additional inscription reading ‘National Stamp Exhibition 2019’ applied to it. Rating:- ***.
The 145 years UPU stamp from Myanmar is some sort of joint issue. Just like the 20 years EMS issues. Kazachstan and Thailand are issuing a 145 years UPU stamp in the same design. Maybe more countries will follow.
