That’s Great It’s Friday: 05 December 2014 (Day 5)


Almost done…. after today there is one more day to go.

2 important announcements:

1. KLCC post office is closed tomorrow. So Postcrossing fans and those who collect real posted covers, please send everything today. KLCC post office closes at 06:00 pm.

2. Designer will be here from 12:00 noon.

Looks like another delay. Designer still not in sight by 12:30 pm. New information: 02:30 pm! Go for lunch.

Now I have time to browse some of the exhibits. Does these look familiar?

Here are some of his work.

Sadly Allahyarham Abdul Rahim Abdullah passed away recently. He is best remembered for the Malaysian Tri-Nation issue. My condolences.

He has another piece of work on an underwater theme that has yet to be released by Pos Malaysia.

Hmm, Tangkak cancellation will be great but it is an off day in Johor, so I guess a day earlier will be just as good.

Tomorrow is Mak Yong, so Kota Bharu will be great!

By the way, do not forget to check out “I Love KL” booth. The Nepal cancellation as well as US Agency cancellation can be found here!

At about 03:30 pm, Mr. KY Lim made a cameo appearance to get Dato’ Azman’s autograph.

  1. The Japan military administration provisionally issued Showa series stamps for sale to the public in the South East Asia occupied territories, the occupied territories were Hong Kong, Burma, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Malaya, N.Borneo, Sumatra, Java Naval occupation areas in Dutch East Indies and the Philippines. Total 13 values stamps of Showa series issued provisionally 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 7, 8, 25, 30, and 50 sen values and highest value 1 yen lord Buddha were put on sale for public, according to a circular issued by JMA only 5 stamps per value was allowed for sale. At a time. People couldn’t afford to purchase stamps due to economic depression during the war, therefore 1 Yen Lord Buddha was out of reach for a common man during WW2. Extensive research carried out pertinent to Showa one yen Lord Buddha affixed to cover. Used cover or First day cancellation in the South East Asia region during the WW2. Findings are as follows  Only 06 postally used covers exists 1-01 cover sold by Numistamps valued USD 490002 -02 covers in collection of two philatelists in Malaysia 3-Three covers in collection of philatelist in Pakistan.
