1521. 🇲🇲🇲🇾🇱🇰 Some Asian New Issues.

🇲🇲 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:- ****.

🇱🇰 Sri Lanka Post issued a single stamp on 6 October 2019 to commemorate the International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements which marks the 150th anniversary of Dmitri Medeleev’s introduction of the periodic table.  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. Rating:- *****.

   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:- ***.

1398. 🇵🇳 Pitcairn Features Bounty Paintings.

  🇵🇳 Bounty Post, the postal service of Pitcairn, issued an extremely attractive set of 4 stamps on 27 February 2019 on the subject of Paintings of The Bounty. The issue was designed by Denise Durkin and lithographed by Southern Colour Print. Rating:- *****.

  🇧🇩  The postal service of Bangladesh issued a single stamp towards the end of 2018, I suspect it was on 12 December, to commemorate Digital Bangladesh Day and 10 years of 'Digital Bangladesh'. Rating:- **.

  🇲🇾 I do not recall so far recording 2 miniature sheets released by Pos Malaysia in connection with 2 philatelic exhibitions it was involved with. Firstly the Panfila Balipex 2018/FourNations Baliphex 2018 exhibition (3 to 8 August 2018) was commemorated by an additional inscription being applied to the previously issued Sarawak River miniature sheet and then the Thailand 2018 World Stamp Exhibition (28 November to 3 December 2018) was commemorated by the previously issued Electric Train Service miniature sheet being reissued with an additional inscription. I assume that the sheets were issued on the opening days of the respective exhibitions. Rating:- **.
