“Tun Dr Mahathir has dedicated his whole life for the betterment of the nation, and this is our way of thanking him for all his efforts and contributions to Malaysia,” he said, adding that the stamps would be available from Tuesday.
Every RM5 from the sale of the folder set would be donated to Tabung Harapan Malaysia, a trust fund set up by the government to enable Malaysians to contribute towards the repayment of the coutnry’s debts.

There will only be 100,000 pieces for each Setem Ku design, with 300,000 pieces in total, thus it’s recommended to get these collectibles before they are sold out.
The complete set can be bought at RM93 each at all general post offices and selected post offices nationwide, or alternatively, purchased online via eziEmall.com.
