Butterflies Of Malaysia

Well, something less hardcore…


This is probably the first Malaysian stamp that made me go, “WOW!”.
For the first time, Pos Malaysia produced a unique shaped miniature sheet – in the shape of a butterfly. It’s also modifiable. You can peel off some parts of the stamp.

Reminds me of the Fun Fruit & Vegetables stamps from England.


Most stamps in the world are commonly squarish. Those which are uniquely shaped or made from materials other than paper are usually quite valuable.

Thailand Valentine’s Day 2005 stamps – made from Velvet and smells of roses!
Well done Pos Malaysia! I look forward to more unique shaped stamps.
