The Indian Heritage Centre (IHC), under the management of the National Heritage Board and with support from the Indian community, traces the history of the Indian and South Asian communities in the Southeast Asian region. The four-storey IHC building is an iconic, unique and sustainable building that blends both traditional Indian as well as modern architectural elements. IHC's permanent galleries feature five themes which are arranged chronologically to span 1st century CE to the 21st century. The four rhombus-shaped stamps in this issue feature night view of IHC (1st Local) and three selected themes from IHC's permanent galleries – Early Contact (70c), Roots and Routes (90c) and Pioneers (S$1.30).
* Early Contact – Interactions between South and Southeast Asia
* Root and Routes – Origins and migration
