POS MALAYSIA on 10 July 2018 launched a limited edition set of First Day Cover stamps celebrating Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s 93rd birthday and the historic moment he was sworn-in as the 7th Prime Minister; he is the only person to have served twice as prime minister of Malaysia (1981-2003 and 2018-2020), a cumulative total of 24 years, making him the country's longest-serving prime minister.
The cachet featured a light-hearted moment between Dr Mahathir and his wife, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali. The cancellation postmark originated from Kampung Baru (Kuala Lumpur).
In 2025, Pos Malaysia will surely issue another set of stamps to commemorate the centenary anniversary of his birth.
