Marina Bay Skyline - Singapore

This is the latest offering in stamps from Singapore Post and my friend Santosh there was kind enough to send me these beautiful stamps in a presentation pack and the miniature sheet in a folder. Thanks Santosh.

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE STAMPS

The issue consists of 4 stamps in a se-tenant block. Each depicts an iconic landmark, The Fullerton Hotel, The Singapore Flyer, Esplanade – Theaters on the Bay and Marina Bay Sands which form part of the Marina Bay Skyline.

The Fullerton Hotel officially opened its doors on January 1, 2001. Built in 1928, it was the center of Singapore’s commercial, social and official life.

The Singapore Flyer, by contrast, is a masterpiece of urban architecture and engineering. With a total height of 165 meters it is the tallest Ferris wheel in the world, The Singapore Flyer is also a part of Formula One Grand Prix race circuit, offering a bird’s eye view on the pulsating F1 night race in Singapore.

Esplanade – Theaters on the Bay is one of the busiest arts centers in the world. It is an architectural icon with its distinctive twin shells and houses the 1,600-seats Concert Hall and the 2,000-seats Theater.

Marina Bay Sands has transformed Singapore’s skyline and the country’s tourism landscape, making it Asia’s leading destination for business, leisure and entertainment.
