Kaspersky Booklet - Truth Unveiled

Finally, the truth unveiled and yes, POS Malaysia did collaborate with Kaspersky to issue this special booklet. Checkout the article I got from theStar dated 8th December 2009.

Snapshot from theStar


I guess the image below speaks for itself.

Though its finally proven to be a collaboration between Kaspersky and POS Malaysia but there is definitely an uneasy feeling among Malaysian philatelist. The most intriguing thing here is that most PSM members are not aware of this issue. How can this be when our President Mr VT Nathan was there to launch the booklet. Something's wrong somewhere....

This booklet is still very ambiguous and there are just so many controversial matters surrounding this particular issue. However, I definitely believe with the right price, its a good item to have in a Malaysian Collection but for me, sorry; just not my type. Come on, using the same stamps with a different booklet? That's rather lame if you ask me.

I would love to know if this sort of scenarios do happen in your country. Appreciate comments and feedbacks.

The collection of 16 stamps will feature Malaysia’s valuable architectural heritage of the 13 states and be in 50 sen denomination.The first-day covers are available at 30 sen each while folders are RM5.50 each.

It was a seriously shocking news to all Malaysian Philatelist when Pos Malaysia decided to issue 16v x 50sen. Normally, a complete set will include 3-5 nos. Anyway, IMHO the full sheet looks great.

From theSTAR Malaysia

Pos Malaysia stamp and philately unit head Yasmin Ramli showing off the new stamps during a media preview Tuesday. KUDOS to Pos Malaysia for the efforts of promoting philately in the news and papers. Im sure all these efforts will catch the attention of younger generations in Malaysia.
