Lunar New Year 1989 Community Chest

I came across this stamp in my stamp album and realised that it was not in the stamp catalogue. Tried to do a search on the internet to find out what kind of stamp this is. I am figuring that it is really not a postage stamp at all but it really looks like one. It clearly shows the Community Chest of Singapore which is sort of a charity in Singapore.

Singapore Stamp Catalogue


Have been using this particular stamp catalogue which I find extremely useful for searching up on old stamps issued in Singapore. It is titled "Singapore Postage Stamps Catalogue". The one that I have is the 2nd edition. Bought it at a retail price of S$20. It was written by I think one of the owners of CS Philatelic Agency which has an outlet in Peninsula Shopping Centre. I have bought some of my stamp supplies from there and I must say that the shop is pretty well-stocked. There are not many stamp shops around Singapore and one is hard pressed to find shops that specialises in postage stamps nowadays.

Singapore Tourism Low Value Definitions -1990

Bought a set of  9 stamps of Ebay that were from 1990.  They are basically low value tourism definitions.  Sorry that the scanned picture did not come out well and the colors are not really depicted correctly.  Need to get my scanner to work properly.

The stamps depicted are as follows:
5 cents - Singapore Zoological Gardens
15 cents - Sentosa
20 cents - Singapore River
25 cents - Dragon Boat Festival
30 cents - Raffles Hotel
35 cents - Bird Singing/Watching
40 cents - Jurong BirdPark
50 cents - Boat Float
75 cents - Peranakan Place
