SingPost launches goat-themed stamps to celebrate Year of the Goat

Local postal services company SingPost has released a set of stamps featuring illustrations of goats to usher in the Chinese New Year.

The latest set is the eighth in the series, issued yearly to depict the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac.

Chinese New Year is celebrated on the first day of the lunar calendar, which falls on Feb 19 this year. Based on the Chinese animal zodiac, this is the Year of the Goat.

A complete set of three stamps will cost $2.30, while a limited-edition collectors' sheet costs $16.80, said SingPost in a statement on Wednesday.
