Stamp of approval welcomes new year

Key exhibition will also boost public awareness to protect more than 260 types of primates

From pop culture to fine arts, from endangered primates to fables and folklores, Singapore Philatelic Museum on Friday presented a new exhibition with monkey-themed stamps, philatelic materials and interactive exhibits to welcome the Year of the Monkey.

Entitled "More than Monkeys", more than 300 stamps on display, mostly from Asia, Africa, Central and South America, narrate this storyline. The oldest stamp can be dated back to 1947.
