13 June 2011: Virtues

The “Thankful” stamp caused a controversy as the Hindi greeting (and writing) was used instead of the Tamil greeting (and writing).

The original stamps were recalled. The whole issue was re-issued again on 18 July 2011. However many who made a “FDC” for the re-issued cancelled it after 18 July 2011 as on that day, Pos Malaysia was busy selling the Royal Palaces series. Only one counter was opened in order to sell the re-issued stamp sheets. Here are the FDCs cancelled in Kuala Lumpur.
