SINGAPORE - A set of four stamps will be released on Tuesday to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Istana , SingPost said on Monday.
The postal service provider said this depicts an important feature of the Istana as an official venue of hospitality, adding that the presidential residence is"an emblem for Singapore's warmth and friendship", having hosted such events as visits from head of states and open houses.
