Malaysia Definitive Stamp - State Crest and National Flower

Malaysia · 1965 · 10 sen

This definitive stamp from Malaysia features the national coat of arms, which includes a tiger-supported shield, a crescent, and a 14-pointed star. To the right is a depiction of the Bunga Raya (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), the national flower of Malaysia, symbolizing courage and life.

Issued in 1965, this stamp was part of the first definitive series released after the formation of Malaysia in 1963, which included Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak, and Singapore. The design elements strongly represent the new nation's identity and unity.
