I truly appreciate the Government's effort to recognize philately and more importantly promoting philately. Truly a big Kudos and hats off to them. With this, I hope that philately activities in Malaysia will gain more recognition and maybe one day we could have our own International Stamp Fair. :)

A stamp exhibition is held from the 15th Dec 2010 to 15th March 2011 at the National Museum of Malaysia. Frankly, I have no clue what is being exhibited as I didn't know about it until recently. It was rather a surprise but I'm happy that the Government has taken the effort to ensure philately will be an evergreen hobby in Malaysia. I'm sure with a joint effort form all sectors, Philately will make a great comeback in Malaysia.

For those who are interested, please refer to the map below:

Me and Pamela drop by MBPJ Library yesterday for the PSM Year End Stamp Fair. We were shocked as there was a good crow. This was a surprise as POS Malaysia was having the Stamp Week at Berjaya Times Square too. We expected people to be there. Anyway, it was a great event with a few new dealers, drawing competition for children, lucky draw and also a display of award winning exhibition.

Love the exhibits as there was just so much we could learn about. Most of all, we love the opportunity to meet all the senior philatelist and every conversation was a good learning experience.

Some pictures to share:

This is my first postcard from Myanmar and to my surprise its actually an invitation to a philatelic workshop in Myanmar. Sadly, I'm just too busy with my work and couldn't spare time to go there. Im sure I would have love to meet my Myanmar philatelic friends especially Thitar. However, my dearest friend Vera and Bob went to Myanmar and they definitely had the time of their life. Vera was there to give a workshop on thematic collection . In addition, there was an exhibit entitled Myanmar Philately - A New Approach which truly is a WOW factor.

I really hope to come to Myanmar one day and have a great meeting with all my philatelic friends there. Im sure we will have much in common and so much to learn from each other.
