Setem Permainan Tradisional Layang-layang

Permainan layang-layang, juga dikenali dengan nama wau merupakan satu aktiviti menerbangkan layang-layang tersebut di udara. Perkataan “wau” dikatakan berasal dari perkataan kerajaan Melayu Pattani (Thai) memandangkan negeri seperti Kelantan, Terengganu, Perlis dan Kedah menggunakan perkataan tersebut.

Perkataan layang-layang pula digunakan di kebanyakan negeri-negeri seperti di pantai barat dan selatan Semenanjung Malaysia seperti Selangor, Melaka dan Johor. Ini dapat dibuktikan menerusi catatan Tun Seri Lanang yang menyatakan bahawa Raja Ahmad bermain layang-layang bersama pemuda-pemuda serta kerabat DiRaja. Selain itu kemunculan nama wau juga dikaitkan bunyi yang terhasil daripada busur yang diikat pada wau. Apabila dinaikkan ke udara, daun ibus yang dipasang pada busur tersebut akan menghasilkan bunyi "wau" secara berirama.

Permainan wau diadakan sebagai hiburan untuk pelbagai peringkat umur. Permainan wau juga diadakan untuk pertandingan. Pertandingan yang melihat bentuk kecantikannya diukur dari segi keindahannya kepada bentuk, corak ciptaan, warna, keaslian ciptaan dan ukurannya.

The Clipper is a fast flying butterfly and has a habit of flying with its wings flapped stiffly between the horizontal position and a few degrees below the horizontal. It may glide between spurts of flapping.

Male and female. Upperside : ground-colour a bright bronze-green, the subhyaline white spots near the apex of cell in the fore wing more opaque, the broad discal band of large white spots proportionately more basal further from the termen and very irregular, the spots, especially towards the hinder part of the wing, more widely separated, the spot in interspace 5 more acutely triangular and smaller, the two spots above shifted obliquely inwards towards the costa, making the outer margin of the discal band angulate at interspaces 5 and 6. Hind wing: the postdiscal and sub-terminal markings broader and more diffuse than in P. gambrisius, giving a dark shade to the whole of the apical half of the wing. Underside pale greenish grey. Fore wing: the spots and markings except the basal black streaks as on the upperside, the groundcolour fading to an ashy grey towards the terminal margin. Hind wing similar to the underside of hind wing of P. gambrisius, but the discal transverse sinuous black line very broken and incomplete, the postdiscal, subterminal and terminal black markings somewhat better denned. Antennae black; head, thorax and abdomen bronze green, barred with black above ; beneath whitish.

Larva. Cylindrical; head and anal segment with short simple spines; segments 3 to 12 with longer branched spines, reddish brown in colour, those on 3 and 4 comparatively very long.

Setem Adenanthera Pavonena (Saga)

Pokok saga atau pokok tasbih (Abrus precatorius @ adenanthera pavonena) (bahasa Inggeris: Jequirity, Black-eyed Susan, Rosary Pea atau Indian Licorice) adalah sejenis tumbuhan legum yang mempunyai daun-daun pinat yang kecil. Bijinya banyak digunakan sebagai manik serta di dalam peralatan muzik. Bijinya amat beracun tetapi kurang berbahaya jika ditelan memandangkan biji saga mempunyai lapisan kulit yang tebal. Abrus precatorius dari buku panduan Medicinal-Plants karangan Koehler.

Toksin yang terkandung di dalam biji saga mempunyai hubungan rapat dengan sejenis ricin dipanggil abrin. Ia merupakan sejenis dimer yang terdiri daripada dua subunit protein, dinamakan jenis A dan B. Rantaian B berfungsi mengangkut abrin ke dalam sel dengan mengikat kepada beberapa protein pengangkutan ke membran sel, yang kemudian mengangkut toksin tersebut ke dalam sel. sebaik sahaja berada di dalam sel, rantaian A mencegah sintesis protein dengan menyahaktifkan sub-unit 26S di dalam ribosom. Satu molekul abrin boleh menyahaktifkan sehingga 1,500 ribosom sesaat. Tanda-tanda keracunan adalah sama seperti ricin, kecuali dos maut bagi ricin adalah lebih kurang 75 kali ganda daripada dos maut abrin. Abrin boleh membunuh dengan jumlah edaran kurang daripada 3 μg (mikrogram).

Biji saga sangat dihargai sebagai barang kemas asli disebabkan warnanya yang terang. Biji ketiga dengan hilum (kesan pemasangan) berwarna hitam, manakala yang lain pula berwarna merah terang, seolah-olah kumbang kura-kura. Pembuatan barang kemas dengan biji saga adalah berbahaya, dan sudah terdapat kes kematian akibat luka pada jari semasa menebuk biji tersebut untuk dijadikan manik. Walau bagaimanapun, biji saga sudah lama dianggap sebagai simbol cinta di negara China.

Setem Durio Zibethinus@ bunga durian

The durian(pronounced /ˈdʊəriən)is the fruit of several tree species belonging to the genus Durio and the Malvaceae family (although some taxonomists place Durio in a distinct family, Durionaceae. Widely known and revered in southeast Asia as the "king of fruits", the durian is distinctive for its large size, unique odour, and formidable thorn-covered husk. The fruit can grow as large as 30 centimetres (12 in) long and 15 centimetres (6 in) in diameter, and it typically weighs one to three kilograms (2 to 7 lb. Its shape ranges from oblong to round, the colour of its husk green to brown, and its flesh pale-yellow to red, depending on the species.

The edible flesh emits a distinctive odour, strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact. Some people regard the durian as fragrant; others find the aroma overpowering and offensive. The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust. The odour has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in southeast Asia.

The durian, native to Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia, has been known to the Western world for about 600 years. The 19th-century British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace famously described its flesh as "a rich custard highly flavoured with almonds". The flesh can be consumed at various stages of ripeness, and is used to flavour a wide variety of savoury and sweet edibles in Southeast Asian cuisines. The seeds can also be eaten when cooked.

There are 30 recognised Durio species, at least nine of which produce edible fruit. Durio zibethinus is the only species available in the international market: other species are sold in their local regions. There are hundreds of durian cultivars; many consumers express preferences for specific cultivars, which fetch higher prices in the market.

Setem 10 Tahun Merdeka

Today in Malaysia, in which Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore merged in 1963, the term still remains pertinent in the present. It can be seen in the Malaysian national holiday of Hari Merdeka, commemorating Malaya's independence on 31 August 1957, and Dataran Merdeka (Independence Square) where the first ceremony raising the flag of Malaya was held following independence. Because Sabah and Sarawak gained their independence on 31 August 1963, Hari Merdeka is a significant date throughout Malaysia.

Tunku Abdul Rahman, the inaugural Malaysian Prime Minister, declared Malayan independence with seven shouts of "Merdeka"; the cry continues to be featured prominently in Malaysian Hari Merdeka celebrations.

Setem Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur initially belonged to the state of Selangor. However, during the 1969 elections, BN lost its majority in Selangor to opposition. The opposition mainly received their votes in Kuala Lumpur. This caused feelings of resentment to the ruling party (BN) and their supporters as Selangor is the richest state in Malaysia after Singapore left the Federation. The ruling party supporters clashed with opposition supporters during their 'victory' marches. This time BN-UMNO supporters gathered at the Selangor Chief Minister's home at Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur and they started getting reckless. Phoney news spread like wild fire which said that the Malays are killed by opposition supporters. Riots spread to the whole of Kuala Lumpur, mainly in Chinese districts (Kuala Lumpur center and business area where Chinese people are working).

Setem Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah

Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah ibni Sultan Sir Abu Bakar Riayatuddin Shah[2] (born October 24, 1930 at Istana Mangga Tunggal, Pekan) was the seventh Yang di-Pertuan Agong (roughly equivalent to King) of Malaysia from March 29, 1979 to April 25, 1984, and fifth Sultan of modern Pahang.

A student of the Malay College Kuala Kangsar, he received diplomas in public administration from Worcester College, Oxford and Exeter University. He succeeded his father as sultan in 1974.

His election as Yang di-Pertuan Agong in 1979 was marked with controversy as he was said to be at odds with the incoming prime minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. However, the rumours proved to be untrue and he proved to be a keen admirer of the prime minister.

A controversial, headstrong personality, he has often forced his chief ministers to resign over minor differences.

His favourite hobby was playing football, golf, polo, and equestrian.

Sultan Ahmad Shah is a keen sportsman and President of the Malaysian Football Association (FAM)[3] and President of Asian Football Confederation (AFC) until 2002.

His official and royal consort, Tengku Ampuan Afzan binti Tengku Panglima Perang Muhammad, a member of the Terengganu royal family, served as his Raja Permaisuri Agong but died of cancer on her return to Pahang on June 29, 1988. Sultan Ahmad Shah's junior wife Kalsom binti Abdullah (nee Anita), was designated as the Sultanah of Pahang in 1991.

Setem Sang Kancil

Kancil (bahasa Inggeris: Lesser Mousedeer) ialah spesies yang paling kecil antara hanya empat spesies yang masih wujud dalam famili Tragulidae serta infraorder Tragulina. Panjangnya yang hanya berukuran 45 sentimeter, dengan berat sebanyak dua kilogram, menyebabkannya merupakan salah satu ungulat yang paling kecil. Kancil suka akan hutan yang berbatu-batan dan terdapat di hutan tropika Asia Tenggara. Nama saintifiknya Tragulus javatticus.

Famili Tragulidae amat meluas antara Epok Oligosen (34 juta tahun dahulu) hingga Epok Miosen (kira-kira 5 juta tahun dahulu) tetapi hampir tidak bertukar sejak masa itu dan oleh itu, merupakan satu famili haiwan ruminan yang primitif. Famili ini mempunyai perut empat kebuk untuk menapaikan makanan tumbuhan yang susah cerna, tetapi keluk ketiga tidak berkembang dengan sempurna. Serupa dengan spesies-spesies lain dalam famili Tragulidae, kancil tidak mempunyai tanduk, dan kakinya pendek dan kurus.

Kancil merupakan sejenis haiwan yang termasyhur di Malaysia disebabkan legenda Melayu. Cerita rakyat "Sang Kancil dan Sang Buaya" mengisahkan tentang kecerdikan Sang Kancil memperdayakan sekumpulan buaya untuk menyeberangi sungai untuk menikmati buah rambutan yang sedang masak ranum.

Kancil turut digunakan sebagai nama kereta Perodua Kancil, Malaysia.

Setem Masjid Negara

The Masjid Negara is the national mosque of Malaysia, located in Kuala Lumpur. It has a capacity of 15,000 people and is situated among 13 acres (53,000 m2) of beautiful gardens. The original structure was designed by a three-person team from the Public Works Department - UK architect Howard Ashley, and Malaysians Hisham Albakri and Baharuddin Kassim. Originally built in 1965, it is a bold and modern approach in reinforced concrete, symbolic of the aspirations of a then newly-independent Malaysia.

Its key features are a 73-metre-high minaret and an 18-pointed star concrete main roof. The umbrella, synonymous with the tropics, is featured conspicuously - the main roof is reminiscent of an open umbrella, the minaret's cap a folded one. The folded plates of the concrete main roof is a creative solution to achieving the larger spans required in the main gathering hall. Reflecting pools and fountains spread throughout the compound.

Local reports have drawn metaphors about the significance of its main roof: 18 points symbolise the (then) 13 states of Malaysia and the Five Pillars of Islam. However, design member Hisham Albakri revealed in an interview with Badan Warisan Malaysia that this was erroneous.

Setem Ulangtahun Ke 10 Persekutuan Tanah Melayu

Setem Wayang Kulit

The traditional "Wayang Kulit" or Shadow Puppet Plays of Malaysia is practiced by troupes in the northern states of Kedah, Perlis, Kelantan and Terengganu. It had its roots from the neighboring country of Thailand but has since evolved into part of Malaysia’s own heritage. Essentially, "Wayang Kulit" provided stage entertainment in the form of age-old story telling in the old "kampungs" or villages in old Malaysia. Being two-dimensional and with voices and music, this was very much like watching television, except that the television was invented hundreds of years later

Setem Bunga Raya

Setem ini mengambarkan sekuntum bunga raya bernilai 15 sen pada ketika itu. Bunga raya ialah bunga kebangsaan Malaysia. Selepas mencapai kemerdekaan, Kementerian Pertanian telah diarah untuk mencadangkan bunga yang sesuai untuk dipilih sebagai bunga kebangsaan. Pada akhir pada tahun 1958, Kementerian Pertanian telah mencadangkan tujuh jenis bunga untuk dipilih sebagai Bunga Kebangsaan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu, iaitu Bunga Kenanga, Bunga Raya, Bunga Melur, Bunga Teratai, Bunga Mawar, Bunga Cempaka dan Bunga Tanjung. Selepas perbincangan pada 28 Julai 1960, Bunga Raya telah diisytiharkan sebagai Bunga Kebangsaan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu.
