The Malaya Study Group

The Malaya Study Group exists for collectors of the stamps, postal stationery and postal history of the states of Peninsular Malaysia which until 1963 formed the Federation of Malaya, including the Straits Settlements of Malacca, Penang and Singapore, the Federated Malay States, Negri Sembilan and Sungei Ujong, Pahang, Perak and Selangor and the Unfederated States, Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Perlis and Trengganu. Many MSG members also collect & study all of modern Malaysia, Singapore, and the island of Borneo, comprising additionally  Sabah, Sarawak, Borneo, Labuan, and the states of Brunei & the peninsular state of Singapore. Study of the whole area so often adds to understanding and appreciation of the philately of Malaya. The Society has a JOURNAL, "The Malayan Philatelist" and a NEWSLETTER supplied free to members, EXCHANGE PACKETS, AUCTIONS and has produced a number of significant PUBLICATIONS on the stamps and postal history of the area.

The Malaya Study Group Display at the Royal Philatelic Society

THE MSG has been invited by the Royal Philatelic Society London to give a display to mark the 50th Anniversary of the founding of our Society.

The display will take place at 41 Devonshire Place London W1 on Thursday 15th October between 1pm and 6pm.

The display takes the form of standing exhibits of 52 frames covering 46 different aspects of Malayan philately and postal history with 22 members contributing. They include Messrs Peters, Proud, Cockburn, Holley, Dyce, Norris, McEwen, Chang and Ong to name a few so viewers can be assured of some wonderful gems on view

All members and their guests are welcome. A reception will be held around 4.30pm with drinks and snacks.

It is 38 years since the Society has had this honour and no doubt it will be many years until it happens again. Truly an event not to be missed

A dinner will be held afterwards at 7pm. Numbers are limited and priority will be given to those displaying but if you would like to attend please contact David Tett at PO Box 34 Wheathampstead Herts AL4 8JY or by email davidtett@aol.com for further details
