Singapore's 48th year of independence

SingPost launches stamps to mark Singapore's 48th year of independence


A set of five commemorative postal stamps will be released to mark Singapore's 48th year of independence.

Singapore Post said the stamps will showcase examples of what Singaporeans have shared, overcome and achieved together.

This series is the first of three special stamp sets that SingPost is launching in as many years in the lead up to Singapore's golden jubilee in 2015.

The subjects featured in this year's series include "Beating SARS Together", "Cleaning and Greening Our City", "Conquering Our Water Challenges" and "Living Together in Harmony".

The stamps, with the surface values of 1st local mail, 50 cents, 65 cents, 80 cents and S$1.10, will go on sale on 5 August 2013.

Miniature sheets, pre-cancelled first day covers and presentation sets of the special stamp issue will also be on sale.
