The passing of Lee Kuan Yew commemorated on stamps from Liberia and Tuvalu

With the passing of former Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew, stamp agency IGPC lost little time in the opportunity of commemorating the event on her agency countries: Liberia and Tuvalu released 2 souvenir sheets each on 25 May 2015. The Tuvalu issue maintained a more serious design, showing only photographs of Lee Kuan Yew, with one sheet featuring also the Singapore city skyline. The Liberian issue is more ambitious in the targeted audience, featuring photographs of Lee Kuan Yew and other world dignitaries like US President Obama, Queen Elizabeth of United Kingdom, and China President Xi Jinping.

Myths & Legends 2014 The Attack of the Swordfish or How Bukit Merah came to be

Once upon a time, the local fisher folk were beset by a school of fierce swordfish and people were killed. The villagers seek the help of their ruler, who was helpless, until a bright boy suggested using the trunks of banana trees to build a barricade upon which the swordfish launched themselves and were trapped. The villagers feted the boy, and the ruler became fearful of such unusual intelligence. The ruler ordered the boy to be executed. The boy was killed atop a hill, he bled profusely and his blood stained the hill. Today this place is called Bukit Merah, or Redhill, and this is a real neighbourhood in Singapore.

The theme of underwater fauna and fish are found in the 1st & 2nd local stamps. The 50-cent stamp is festooned with banana plant and its fruit, with a little golden oriole (bird) near the top edge; if envy is a theme then this stamp fits nicely. The $2 stamp shows a verdure hill (flora) with a house built on stilts (architecture) that seems to be on fire, with a murderer in the foreground!

Myths & Legends 2014 Sang Nila Utama or How Singapore got her name

Prince Sang Nila Utama was hunting on the east coast of Sumatra when he sighted the white sands of the distant island of Tumasek. He decided to cross the sea to explore the island. Midway to the island he met with a heavy storm and his boat was in danger of capsizing, to save his boat he ordered his men to throw everything overboard; finally he had to even throw his heavy crown into the sea, whereby the storm immediately subsided. Upon reaching the shore of Tumasek, he sighted a regal animal he had never seen before; his advisor told him the animal could be a singa (lion in Sanskrit). The prince was sufficiently impressed by his sighting and decided to settle on the island, renaming it Singapura or Lion City.

This set of stamps covers several themes: The theme for the 1st local stamp is clearly sea transportation, the sailboat can still be seen in the design for the 2nd local stamp, and there is a little red crab at the bottom right of it. The lion in the 50-cent stamp will appeal to collectors of big cat and wild animal stamps, while the $2 stamp covers fruity, floral and cartographic themes.
