POS Malaysia Bhd is issuing its latest stamp collection, featuring the Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd Electric Train Service (ETS).

Pos Malaysia Stamp and Philately Unit head Diyana Lean Abdullah said the stamp collection could be bought at post offices nationwide from March 20 onwards.

“This stamp collection comes in three stamp designs, with two of them, both for the 60 sen stamps, with illustrations of the ETS Class 91 and Class 92 locomotives,” she said.

The 80 sen stamp will have an illustration of the ETS Class 93 locomotive, Diyana told a media conference in Kuala Lumpur today.

She said other philately products, including the First Day Cover (FDC) with brochures, mini sheets and folders, would be sold as well.

Diyana said Pos Malaysia would only print 200,000 pieces of each stamp design, FDC with free brochures (28,000), mini sheets (30,000), and folders (1,800).

She said the mini sheets could be bought for RM6.35 a piece, and the FDC with the brochures at 55 sen each, inclusive of goods and services tax. – Bernama, March 16, 2018.
