Issued in conjunction with Year of the Ox 2021 (although it's released post Chinese New Year), the first stamp issue in 2021 by Pos Malaysia features the well-known types of cattle found in Malaysia. These domesticated animals have special roles such as transportation, farming, livestock production, and leather production which contributes to the nation's agricultural industry. The stamp in the miniature sheet in this issue is printed with a die-cut as well as gold hot stamping and embossing finish, making the cattle in the stamp does reflect the year itself – the Year of the Metal Ox! Indeed very stunning and once again, kudos to Pos Malaysia for the creativity. This stamp issue also comes with four other stamps, each featuring a cattle breed in Malaysia – click here to find out more.
