Today it was actually a meeting to exchange philatelic items when it dawned upon us why not visit the library in the afternoon? After all studying unlocks a lot of benefits.
So there we are all headed to the library and sat around for 3 hours before the State Anthem was played. As studious as we are, we all know it was the cue to head downstairs.
This afternoon DYMM Sultan of Selangor was at the Pustaka Tun Uda Library to launch the commemorative book, coin and of course the stamps and miniature sheet. Here is the launch with many VVIPs.
It was a closed door event and Pos Malaysia was led by Mr Haidan, the Head of Philately.
After the launch event, Pos Malaysia organised an autograph and FDC cancellation session.
Here is Mr Haidan and Pos Malaysia colleagues with DYMM Sultan Selangor.

Here are the autographed posters.
Truly something to be treasured!
The most studious person in the group came prepared with the Royal Selangor Pewter FDC of the Coronation of DYMM Sultan Selangor 25 years ago and was the only one to obtain an autograph from His Royal Highness.
It was then the REAL purpose of buying today, to get the most cherished cancellation. Pos Malaysia brought only 100 Full Folder Sets with Klang cancellation (including the cop) to the event and it was very soon snapped up.
Guess the post office? The new version of the cancellation is even more meaningful as it dropped the word Petaling Jaya. So guess what does the postmark read out to be? This is what the 5 hours is for. Philately is about patience and perseverance. Not about rushing and copping everything.
So here is the poster:
Here is the price list:
So the most concordant locations for tomorrow are:
- Klang – this is a must have as it is the Royal City of Klang
- Shah Alam – because the philatelic products are launched here
- Bukit Raja, Selangor
- Jalan Sultan, Selangor
