SingPost regularly releases new stamp designs that suit the occasion for stamp collectors. Last month, it came up with a set of six stamps featuring Olympic sports that Singapore athletes are competing in at the Tokyo Games. These include swimming, table tennis and diving.
In 2015, during Singapore's 50th anniversary celebrations, SingPost launched a set of Hello Kitty plush toys dressed in cheongsam, baju kurung, sari, or "I love Singapore" T-shirts, as well as stamp folders featuring Hello Kitty with iconic Singapore landmarks.
