Goat is the eight sign of the Chinese zodiac. According to tradition, those born under the sign are said to be gentle, mild-mannered, shy, stable, sympathetic, amicable and brimming with a strong sense of kindheartedness and justice. Famous people born in the Year of the Goat include Bill Gates, Julia Roberts, Chow Yun Fatt, Ed Sheeran, Kimi Räikkönen and Whoopi Goldberg. This stamp issue is part of Singapore Post's zodiac stamp series that began in 2008 with the Rat. The stamps feature graphical illustrations of the compassionate, kind-hearted and sincere Goat in all three stamps.
