Fern theme for Pos Malaysia stamps this Wednesday


This series will be a good to have for collectors. I will love it especially when it's featuring nature's best :)

Pos Malaysia Berhad will issue a special collection of stamps and first-day covers with the fern theme on Wednesday.

These stamps are aimed at helping the public to know the fern species available in the country, said Pos Malaysia Stamp and Philately Unit head Yasmin Ramli.

"Actually, we want to cater to the demand of collectors. They already have a collection of stamps on the 'paku-pakis' (ferns) from countries such as Australia, Taiwan and New Zealand," said Yasmin Moday, who unveiled the Malaysian stamps at a news conference.

The stamps, in five designs, are in 50-sen denomination while 45,000 first-day covers costing 30 sen each would be available for purchase.

Collectors can also purchase the folder at RM5.50 each or the complete set at RM21.60 each at selected post offices.


Pos Malaysia group managing director and chief executive Officer Datuk Syed Faisal Albar said in a statement the beauty of the country's natural wonders had always been a favourite subject for Pos Malaysia to feature on its stamps and first-day covers.
