p/s In AllMalaysia.info – Stamps to mark golden jubilee namely the part where they said, “The third stamp will remain a surprise until it is made available to the public”. I think the third stamp is the stamp above. If you don’t know the background of the above stamp, it was the first stamp issued under the name of Malaysia in 1963.
