Women, family and community development minister Nancy Shukri, who launched the special collection today, said it was specifically created to celebrate the contribution of women to the nation.

“This collection commemorates the contribution of the notable women featured (in its designs) and the importance of women in our society,” she said after the event.

Nancy said her ministry hopes to see more women leaders taking the lead in various sectors, such as economy and politics.

Pos Malaysia said the theme of this year’s celebration, Aspiring Women Building A Legacy, encapsulates its wish for a more inclusive future for women.

The purple collection features stamps, envelopes and postcards. One folder is priced at RM38.10 and includes stamps of two different designs, a special envelope stamped with a special logo, and a postcard.

The collection may be bought at selected post offices or online.
