More Postponements: Malaysia – Hong Kong Joint Issue Local Food

The latest joint issue with Hong Kong has been postponed. Indeed this is quite a disappointment 😦

Meanwhile Hong Kong Post has already shipped their FDCs to Pos Malaysia! All SODA account holders will receive a Hong Kong stamp on FDC with their SODA order automatically. However the Hong Kong MS on FDC will not be provided. Hong Kong Post will go ahead and issue the stamps and miniature sheet on 09 October 2014. They will also issue a presentation pack with both sets of stamps as well as a joint FDC with both sets of stamps! Here are the images: http://www.hongkongpoststamps.hk/eng/stamps/latest_stamp_issues/2014/20141009a/index.htm

Sadly Pos Malaysia will postpone it for reasons best known to the knowing people. News has it that the miniature sheet produced by Pos Malaysia is too big to stick on our envelope! Hmm, this is quite embarrassing to have a joint issue with one side issuing and the other side postponing.

I will be ordering the Hong Kong Post FDCs and if you are keen to order along, just drop me your quantity. One set per person only subjected to availability.

ps: Malay Folk Stories is also postponed until further notice.

pps: Unlike other philatelic bureaus, HK Post has a limit for individual order. The requests have reached the limit and I cannot accept further orders. My apologies.
