Malaysia Assumes 2025 ASEAN Chairmanship with Commemorative Stamps: A Note for Burmanica Collectors

On January 1, 2025, Malaysia officially took over the ASEAN chairmanship, marking its fifth time leading the regional bloc since ASEAN’s founding in 1967. To commemorate this occasion, Malaysia issued two special stamps and a miniature sheet, celebrating its leadership role.

For Burmanica collectors, a key highlight of this issue is the depiction of the Myanmar flag on the margin of both the stamp sheet and miniature sheet, alongside the flags of other ASEAN member nations.

Additionally, official First Day Covers (FDCs) and Maximum Cards were released. One of the maxicard designs features the Myanmar flag, making it a notable item for collectors. While the flag does not appear directly on the stamp itself, its presence on the margin adds significant value to the Burmanica collection.

This issue presents a great opportunity for collectors of ASEAN-themed philately.
