Every year we celebrate National Day on August 9 – or was it June 3? Laokokok lets us in on a time when the State of Singapore celebrated National Day on June 3. A must read for all pre-65ers!

What so special about the above stamp of mine? 2 things you must take note – 1. Date was 3rd June 1961 and 2. The “State Of Singapore” instead of “Republic Of Singapore”.

Maybe it’s a printing error that National Day was 3rd June in 1961, you may said. But no no, from 1960 to 1963 our National Day was on 3rd June. Let me show you with the use of stamps.
