Why no commemorative stamps?

Dear Editor,

As we observe the centennial anniversary of the former President it was disappointing to read that the commemorative stamps, which should have been launched on Tuesday and of which the Minister with responsibility made mention during a recent address, were not delivered (SN, March 22).

What has made this blunder a fiasco is that there has been no proper explanation from the authorities. Such disrespect to the memory of a true son of the soil cannot be condoned.

Yours faithfully,

Shamshun Mohamed
