Pos Malaysia 25th Anniversary of ASEAN

POS MALAYSIA on 8 August 1992 issued three First Day Cover stamps commemorating the 25th Anniversary of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations). The ASEAN logo of seven brown sheaves of rice stalks, one for each founding members is presented in the background of these colourful stamps. The stamps depict the peoples, flowers and landmarks of ASEAN, which at the time included  Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand; ASEAN has since grown to include Kampuchea (Cambodia), Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam. The postmark cancellation on the cover shown here originated from Kuala Lumpur, although Labuan and Melaka were additional locations.

These attractive stamps included:
- 30 cents - The national costumes of each ASEAN country
- 50 cents - The national flowers of each ASEAN country
- 1.00 dollar - The national landmarks each ASEAN country
