1942. 🇲🇾 Pos Malaysia Celebrates COVID-19 Heroes.

 












🇲🇾 Pos Malaysia issued a set of 4 stamps on 9 September 2021 to commemorate the heroes of the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. The designs by the young female artist Red Hong Yi are pictures in the form of miniature mosaics made from Malaysian stamps. These are very successful and original designs. An excellent and worthy issue. Rating:-*****.

🇯🇪 Jersey Post is planning to release two new Post And Go issues. The first, to be dispensed from 9 to 13 September only (just 5 days) from kiosk JE02 post office in Broad Street, commemorates the 20th visit to Jersey of SV Tenacious and takes the form of the strip of the 6 Nautical knot stamps with the added inscription ‘SV Tenacious/Jersey 2021’. 
  The second stamp issue takes the form of the 6 Lighthouses Post and Go stamps with the added inscription ‘Jersey Corn Riots/250th anniversary’ which was an historical event of local significance but deemed only worthy to be commemorated on some Post and Go stamps. These items will also be dispensed from kiosk JE02 in Broad Street and for the very short time period of 28 September to 2 October. Mock-ups of two of the stamps are depicted below:-

  1. The second of those dates are the same as Stampex I think. Coincidence or deliberate?

    2. The 09/09/21 issue is not shown on the Jersey website. No publicity at all from Jersey Post to collectors re these 2 issues.

  2. I think the release date for the Malaysia issue is actually 9 September 2021, based on information shared on the myfdcmalaysia website. The official announcement sheet suggests retail sales on 9/9 https://myfdc.me/tag/barisan-hadapan/

  3. Are the Malaysian stamps personalised stamps? They are dated 2020 not 2021.

    1. No they are not Personalised stamps. I think the date discrepancy is because they were originally planned to be issued in 2020.
