The stamp issue is produced to promote greater understanding and goodwill amongst the people of the two nations who have much in common and to look back on our respective histories with the aspiration towards achieving our shared destiny of peace, progress and prosperity.
National Monument of Malaysia & Indonesia
Unveiled in 1966, the Tugu Negara is a memorial to those who have given their lives for the freedom of Malaysia. And in Central Jakarta, Indonesia stands the Proclamation Monument which features images of the first President Soekarno and the vice-president Mohamad Hatta at the reading of the Proclamation of Independence of Indonesia.
Currency of Malaysia & Indonesia
Malaya issued her first currency note in 1959. Reflecting the agrarian economy at the time, the first one dollar note featured a sailboat being hauled ashore by a crew of fishermen. Indonesia’s first currency note, Oeang Republik Indonesia was introduced on 3rd October 1946 during a difficult time. Later when the Japanese and Dutch currencies were phased out, a more stable system was introduced.
First Stamp Issued After Merdeka
Malaya’s first stamp was a 10-cent denomination featuring Malaya’s first Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman in the foreground and an endearing crowd of Malayans in the background. Indonesia’s first stamps with native scenes incorporated into the design such as rice cultivation with the aid of a buffalo and images of native dancers were introduced in the 1930s.
The Red & Green Jungle Fowl
Two unique jungle fowls complete the setenant strip in this joint issue. The Red Jungle Fowl (Gallus gallus) is the ancestor of the domesticated chicken while the green jungle fowl (Gallus varius), a unique bird also known as bekisar, and endemic only to Java and a few of the islands such as Flores, Lombok and Komodo, represents the wildlife of Indonesia.
