Actually I do not know how to group these stamps according to their themes so that I put them together and just name it "Mode of Transport". Some stamps might not fit to this category. Anyway, they are still in good condition and some has no postage marks yet...

Save Borobudur Movement

Posted by Rudy | 10/16/2008 05:43:00 PM

According to Wikipedia:

Borobudur is a ninth-century Mahayana Buddhist monument in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The monument comprises six square platforms topped by three circular platforms, and is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. A main dome, located at the center of the top platform, is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues seated inside perforated stupa.

The monument is both a shrine to the Lord Buddha and a place for Buddhist pilgrimage. The journey for pilgrims begins at the base of the monument and follows a path circumambulating the monument while ascending to the top through the three levels of Buddhist cosmology, namely Kamadhatu (the world of desire), Rupadhatu (the world of forms) and Arupadhatu (the world of formlessness). During the journey the monument guides the pilgrims through a system of stairways and corridors with 1,460 narrative relief panels on the wall and the balustrades.

Evidence suggests Borobudur was abandoned following the fourteenth century decline of Buddhist and Hindu kingdoms in Java, and the Javanese conversion to Islam. Worldwide knowledge of its existence was sparked in 1814 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, the then British ruler of Java, who was advised of its location by native Indonesians. Borobudur has since been preserved through several restorations. The largest restoration project was undertaken between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government and UNESCO, following which the monument was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Borobudur is still used for pilgrimage; once a year Buddhists in Indonesia celebrate Vesak at the monument, and Borobudur is Indonesia's single most visited tourist attraction.

This series has 3 stamps which are bound as one. These stamps have no postage marks so that they have never been used before. Anyone interested?

Kanker Terbasmi oleh Sinar Sakti

Posted by Rudy | 10/16/2008 05:10:00 PM

I've got only 2 pieces of this kind of postage stamp. The title of the stamp is "kanker terbasmi oleh sinar sakti" which means "cancer is cured by powerful light"... The title (according to me :-) seems to have 2-sided meaning whether the cancer can really be cured by x-rays (medical treatment) or by psychic treatment, ie: "mystical powerful light"? G-d? Is it related to the G30S? Anyone knows the history of these stamps?
