The first item is the “sequel” to the 150 Years Straits Settlements. The date of issue is 01 December 2017. However, since 01 December 2017 is a Public Holiday, the single Miniature Sheet will be sold on 04 December 2017. In December, 150 years ago, the stamps used in the Straits Settlement was finally released with the words Straits Settlements rather than the initial overprint on India stamps (that was on 01 September).
The products are rather simple:
1. Miniature Sheet of RM 5.00 – 25,000 pieces
2. Envelopes of 50 sen – 20,000 pieces
All prices are before GST.

A 150 Years Straits Settlements exhibition launch is planned in Dewan Sri Pos on Level 3 of the General Post Office Kuala Lumpur. The exhibition will run from 04 – 10 December 2017.

Can anyone help where to buy the coffee table book of 150 years Straits Settlement stamps?
Thank you.
The coffee table book is to be published by Pos Malaysia for libraries around the country. The original intention was to distribute the knowledge to the general public via libraries and there was no news of selling to the general public. There has not been any updates since the launch event.
