Singapore Post has teamed up with the National Heritage Board (NHB) to come up with this stamp set, called Myths and Legends, that depicts folklore from Singapore's Southern islands. These stamps unfold some of the most intriguing myths and legends of Singapore, folk tales that are passed down generation to generation. The four stamps in this issue tell the sorrowful tale of two inseparable sisters who drowned themselves in the sea rather than be apart, and reveals the origins behind the name of Sisters' Islands.
