Guess Happy Birthday to all the postal staff across the world!
Pos Malaysia had a launch event for the World Post Day 2024 and 150th Anniversary of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) together with a stamp and Miniature Sheet to commemorate this event.
The Honourable Minister Fahmi Fadzil, Minister of Communications, launched the event.
There was a parade of the latest Electric Vehicles for postal deliveries.
Here they are in a row!
Remember the stamps and postcard designs showcasing these? Nice to see the actual ones upclose!
Thereafter, there was a press conference.
Here are the stamp and Miniature Sheet.
Here are my creations of composite First Day Covers. I think this set is marvelous. I have a combination with each type of tab!
The longer envelopes allow better space for address and registered labels and thus making it easier for postal exchange of a full set on cover! Kudos!
By chance Charles Brewer was in the hallway when I went to mail out the covers and I managed to get his autograph!
He hinted on an upcoming issue with QR codes on the stamp to launch videos on your device! This will be awesome! Can’t wait for this unusual stamp!
Here he is with the autographed items!
Again Happy World Post Day to all collectors and postal staff across the world! This is indeed another unique stamp issue that spans the world!

Happy Collecting!
