POS Malaysia Berhad has unveiled the “Places of Worship – Series II” stamp series in all states.

Five stamps priced at 80sen each were produced for this series.

Among the places of worship highlighted are the Sultan Ismail Petra Silver Jubilee Mosque (Kelantan), Hong San Si Temple (Sarawak), Sri Karthivel Murugan Maha Parasakthi Patchai Amman (Perak), St George’s Church (Penang) and Gurdwara Sahib (Labuan).

“The places of worship chosen for this stamp series not only celebrate Malaysia as a melting pot of different races, religion and cultural backgrounds, but also highlight their unique architecture and historical significance,” said Pos Malaysia group chief executive officer Syed Md Najib Syed Md Noor.

There are one million pieces of stamps produced for this series.

The five stamp sheets (200,000 pieces per design) are worth RM80 each and one sheet contains 20 stamps.

The series also highlights the unique architecture and historical significance of the places of worship.

To complement the series, Pos Malaysia also produced 27,000 pieces of first-day covers with free brochure priced at RM4.50 each, while the 1,600 pieces of folders are available at RM6 each.

The complete folder set is priced at RM90.50 each. The cancellation mark for this series features the five domes of the places of worship.

Pos Malaysia issued a similar themed stamp series in 2016 entitled “Places of Worship” as well as the “Mosque in Malaysia” in 2015 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Masjid Negara.
