Johor was the first Malay state to adopt a constitutional system through the establishment of the State's Law of the Constitution of 1895. This law was promulgated on 14 Apr 1895, during the reign of Sultan Abu Bakar. It was later proclaimed by Sultan Ibrahim and was amended for four times. This law has been in existence for 125 years by 2020 and remains to this day, a valid and recognised law under the Federal Constitution. This stamp issue commemorates the 125th Anniversary of Johor's Constitution, and it hopes to preserve this historic event and serve as a platform to educate the younger generations of the country's history and legacy. The se-tenant stamps in this issue feature Sultan Abu Bakar's portrait, His Majesty's royal seal and a partial photo of the law of the constitution which was originally written in Jawi. This stamp issue also comes with a miniature sheet – click here to find out more.
