SINGAPORE: The longest single stamp in Singapore’s history, measuring 163.2mm long, will go on sale on Thursday (October 15) as part of a new set of two stamps, SingPost said on Wednesday.
The longest stamp, with a S $ 2 denomination, features a panorama of Singapore’s world-renowned skyline from the Marina Bay Central Business District.
The stamp will showcase skyscrapers in the business district, heritage buildings in the civic district, leisure attractions that line the Singapore River, as well as the country’s skyscrapers and the ship-filled Strait in the background.

The second-smallest stamp, valued at S $ 1.40, will feature one of Singapore’s longest HDB floors: Block 34 at Whampoa West.
Built in 1971, the residential building is famous for its 320-meter-long corridor, with 46 apartments on each floor.
A pre-canceled first-day cover with stamps will sell for S $ 4.90 and a presentation pack is priced at S $ 5.95.
They will be available at all post offices, philatelic stores and online at shop.singpost.com, while supplies last, SingPost said.
