Singapore skyline
Another cover I received recently was sent by Terence from Singapore. The cover has two commemorative stamps issued in 2004 decipting Singapore skyline, and a nice looking airmail label.

The 60c stamp as well as the cancel display Merlion, imaginary creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. The Merlion symbol was designed by Mr Fraser Brunner for the logo of the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) in 1964. The Merlion in Merlion Park near the Singapore Central Business District is a well-known tourist icon of Singapore.
