SHAH ALAM, Nov 16 — This year’s Stamp Week has become an important platform for reviving national heritage while successfully attracting the younger generation to the world of philately, stamps, and local arts.
Teacher Nor Huda Othman said the exhibition provided an opportunity for the public, especially students, to explore more closely the uniqueness of Malaysian stamps.
“Programmes like this can attract pupils and the public to learn more about Pos Malaysia. Previously, they were only exposed to mass media, so through this exhibition, they can see for themselves what real stamps look like,” she told Media Selangor.
Meanwhile, teacher Azlina Lajim said the exhibition also served as a meaningful effort to revisit local animation works that once captivated Malaysians.
“Students today may not have had the chance to watch the animations or cartoons featured in this stamp series. That is what makes it special, as if giving them the opportunity to reminisce.
“Stamps are indeed synonymous with history, and the theme chosen this year is fascinating. We can also see the overwhelming response since the first day,” she said.
For student Iskandar Mirza Zaidi, the organisation of Stamp Week carries significant meaning in preserving culture and honouring the contributions of earlier generations.
“I feel the biggest impact is that culture can be preserved. We can look back on generations before us and appreciate what they have built.
“I hope this programme continues because it helps students like me nurture a love for the arts and heritage showcased through stamps,” he said.
On Thursday (November 13), the Stamp Week 2025 Programme was held at the Pos Malaysia Training Institute.
Pos Malaysia Berhad Stamp and Philately Unit head Haidan Abdul Rahman said this year’s exhibition theme was based on classic local animations that carry their own sentimental and historical value.
