Singapore Stamps - Wet Market Presentation Pack

Finally got some time to take a few pictures of one of the presentation packs that I bought recently.

The stamps in the pack are 4 Singapore stamps that depict scenes of the local wet market. Unlike supermarkets found in the West, wet markets are open air concept markets that was is still very much prevalent in the East.  The wet floors due to melted ice or washing gives rise to their names - wet markets.

Even as Singapore has developed, there has been a conscientious effort made to keep these wet markets. Most people now do their grocery shopping in supermarkets. But there are still times when people will turn to the wet markets. Not necessarily because it is cheaper. But because it is at times more convenient.

Hi

I am helping an aged cousin sell off his and his father's stamp collection. The stamps are in Malaysia. I came across your blog and I was wondering if you might be able to advise me on how to go about doing this. I can be reached at woollylam@yahoo.com. Appreciate if you do not post this comment on your blog.

Thank you very much.
