Installation of Yang Di-Pertuan Agong 1966


Issued on 1966
Apr 11, 1966 - Installation of Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Tunku Ismail Nasiruddin Shah

Singapore was part of Malaysia from 16 September 1963 until it was separated from Malaysia on 9 August 1965. Since then Singapore has been a sovereign nation of its own.

When Malaysia issued this First Day Cover on 11 April 1966 -- Malaysian postage stamps and stationery were -- evidently -- still in use in sovereign Singapore after it separated from Malaysia.

Nicely positioned set of Malaysian 15c & 50c stamps on a Malaysian FDC -- neatly postmarked in independent Singapore!
