This fine set of three stamps and miniature sheet with two stamps was issued on 22 January, 2001 and features a presentation pack with information about the stamps in Malay and English. All the species shown are found in Malaysia and are new for my collection. The birds shown on the 50s stamp show the sub-species campbelli, which may soon be given full species status as Malayan Partridge (Arborophila campbelli). |
