KUALA LUMPUR, June 8 — Pos Malaysia Berhad has launched a special stamp issue in conjunction with the Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign, highlighting the country’s cultural diversity and iconic destinations.

The postal operator announced the release in a statement today, citing information from Pos Malaysia’s Group Communications department.

Group Chief Executive Officer Charles Brewer said, “This special stamp issue is more than a collectible — it is a meaningful way for us to share Malaysia’s story with the world,” adding that each design reflects the nation’s heritage, culture and unique experiences.

The stamp collection was launched at Pejabat Pos Besar Lama, Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad by Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing, together with Brewer, in the presence of invited guests, partners and media.

Pos Malaysia said the VM2026 stamp series features recognisable landmarks and cultural icons from every state, including Gua Kelam in Perlis, Langkawi Island in Kedah, Penang Hill, Wau Bulan from Kelantan, the Terengganu State Museum, Cameron Highlands in Pahang and the Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan in Perak.

The miniature sheet features Wira and Manja, the VM2026 mascots inspired by the Malayan Sun Bear, which symbolises Malaysia’s biodiversity and conservation efforts.
