In celebration of Singapore’s 56th year of independence, Singapore Post Limited (SingPost) issued stamps featuring the diverse groups of COVID-19 frontline workers to pay tribute and recognize their continuous perseverance and hard work amidst the pandemic.
The said stamps, valued between 30 cents and SGD 1.40 each, not only include medical frontliners, but also teacher, bus captain, postman, food deliveryman, cleaner, hawker, and supermarket staff.
A montage of these frontline workers can be seen in the miniature sheet while the presentation pack cover features more frontline worker groups including immigration officer, construction worker and reception staff.
SingPost said in a statement on Thursday, “Singapore’s essential workforce… continues to persevere in fighting an unseen enemy while facing their own anxieties, yet holding their posts with responsibility and diligence through the tough times.”
Presentation Packs (SGD 11.55), Miniature Sheet (SGD 2), and Pre-cancelled First Day Covers (SGD 8.35 with stamps, SGD 3.40 with miniature sheet) will go on sale starting August 6 on all post offices, Philatelic store and online at shop.singpost.com.
