To celebrate the Year of the Tiger, a number of countries have issued limited-edition stamps with intricately detailed designs and meaningful elements rooted in their respective cultures and traditions.

There is still no mention of Pos Malaysia Berhad participating in the festivities with its own tiger collection (at the time of publication). However, there is no shortage of magnificent Chinese New Year stamps being published worldwide to pique the interest of philatelists and art enthusiasts.
