Among the most fascinating denizen of Malaysia's rainforest are the Leaf Monkeys. Their diet is comprised mainly of leaves, flowers, buds, seeds and shoots. This stamp issue by Pos Malaysia, in conjunction with 2003 Stamp Week in Malaysia, features two species of Leaf Monkeys – the Red Leaf Monkey, known locally as Lotong Merah (30 sen se-tenant) and the Proboscis Monkey, which is easily recognisable by the male's large nose (50 sen se-tenant).
