1st Anniversary of Independence

More than just a stamp, this is a pledge of unity. Released for the 1st Anniversary of Independence, the design features people of all races as one, determined to forge a shared identity. The symbolic backdrop of industrial and housing blocks highlights our pioneer generation’s focus on national progress and a society where everyone thrives together.

The Singapore Story stamp series featured Singapore’s turbulent years between 1955 to 1959, achieving self-governance from 1959 to 1963, merger with Malaysia and eventual independence from 1961 to 1965, and the birth of Singapore as a nation from 1965 onwards.

Concurrent SG60 Stamp Exhibition (10–12 October)

At the Visual Arts Centre’s Exhibition Gallery, a separate SG60 Stamp Exhibition will run concurrently. Organised by the Association of Singapore Philatelists in partnership with the Singapore Philatelic Society, Singapore Stamp Club, and Zui You Philatelic Society, this three-day exhibition presents a captivating display of stamps and postal memorabilia reflecting Singapore’s heritage, history and nation-building journey.

SingPost warmly welcomes the public to be part of this special celebration of Singapore’s postal legacy and the nation’s 60th anniversary.
