Pos Malaysia made an announcement on the release of the International (Antarabangsa) postage stamps from 01 October 2016.
There were numerous questions raised by this ruling:
1. What will happen to the local stamps?
2.Will the local stamps continue to be able to be used for postage for a transitional period?
3. What will happen to the Miniature Sheets?
4. Will MS be printed with International Antarabangsa since this is the only avenue to use MS due to the high face value?
5. How will this affect the postally sent FDC collectors from foreign countries?
There are many more questions raised by the announcement. I suppose it would be wiser to provide implementation details for these type of announcement rather than a one pager.
Here is the official announcement.
Share your thoughts or forever hold your silence.

May be 2 sets for one same issue. So you buy 2 sets each time, you spend more. Who will be happier?
this rules disadvantage for collectors, the issue stamps will be for collection and cannot be use for postage
i have lots of stamps from all issues which i use for my letters overseas and if you come up with this kind of ruling it is really ridiculous as we do not send a lot of domestic letters. This is going to cause us a lot of problems as we purchase lots of issues to use the stamps for our friends and collectors overseas. it should be optional .
Well, the latest announcement in http://www.pos.com.my rescinded the initial ruling. Thus the normal stamps can continue to be used for international postage. That is good news for all of us.
