Singapore 1986 25 Years of Industrial Progress

The 4 stamps were released 1 August 1986 to mark the 25th anniversary of the Economic Development Board of Singapore. From the themes shown by the illustration on the stamps, it seemed that the road to economic development was very clear - industrial progress - via automation, precision engineering, electronics and computer engineering, and horticultural research. Compared to the 2 stamps issued in 2011, exactly 25 years later, this set of stamps is much easier to appreciate and to understand.
