Community Chest Stamp 1989

Managed to scan another Community Chest Stamp that was printed in 1989. It is probably from the same series as the first community chest stamp that I wrote about just yesterday. Like I said, it most probably is not a postage stamp per se. The scan of this stamp is shown below. The plan depicted in the stamp is quite a common potted plant that is often bought by Chinese families during the lunar new year in Singapore.

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.
