The Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah Bridge or Penang Second Bridge is a dual carriageway toll bridge in Penang, Malaysia. The total length of the bridge is 24 km with length over water at 16.9 km, making it the longest bridge in Malaysia and the second longest in Southeast Asia. It connects Bandar Cassia (Batu Kawan) in Seberang Perai on mainland Peninsular Malaysia with Batu Maung on Penang Island. The bridge was officially opened on 1 Mar 2014 and was named after the fourteenth Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia, Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah of Kedah. The two rather long stamps in this issue, the last stamp issue in 2014, feature photographic images of the bridge, one of day view and one of night view.
