SODA members are supposed to get a strip of all the setenants in a block format. Image is not available as it was not released.

Trivia: This issue is also the first time that the Jawi script (Arabic script used to write the Malay language) is used to write the country’s name.

Best concordant locations are:

  1. Kesidang – Melaka (state flower)
  2. Gapis – Taiping (most site list this flower as Saraca thaipingensis)
  3. Peluru Meriam – KL, Penang, Kepong (3 of the locations with this tree in the park)
  4. Bunga Cina – no suitable location – perhaps Lubok China or Melor (this flower is also known as Bunga Melur)

Alternative cancellation is Tanjung Bungah which is suitable for any of the stamps.
