From Singapore


The four stamps at the top were released by Singapore Post as the biennale festivals stamps on 20 October 2010. These stamps depict the festivals celebrated by the 4 main races in Singapore - Chinese New Year for the Chinese, Hari Raya Haji/Puasa for the Malays, Deepavali or Diwali for the Indians and for the Eurasians who are mostly Christians, Christmas. There are 2 stamps for each festival, the 1st local one for local addressee and the 55-cent postcard rate for posting overseas.
The green stamp at the corner was released on 13 April 2011as a part of a new low value definitive stamp series of 10 stamps depicting the amazing diversity and beauty of a pond ecosystem. This new low value definitive stamp series completed the "Pond Life" definitive collection. The high value definitive "Pond Life" stamp set was issued on 16 February this year.
Surprisingly the stamps used are 1st local for the cover sent overseas to India!!!
