Singapore: Clarke Quay

On 30th September I got a postcard from Singapore.

It shows the Clarke Quay. The Clarke Quay is a historical riverside quay in Singapore. Clarke Quay was named after Sir Andrew Clarke, Singapore's second Governor who played a key role in positioning Singapore as the main port for the Malay states of Perak, Selangor and Sungei Ujong. Today five blocks of restored warehouses house various restaurants and nightclubs that are popular among locals and tourists.

Two stamps were used on the card, an old one and a recent one. The left stamp was issued on 4th July 1990 and is from a set of nine about Singapore Tourism. A Dragon Boat Festival is shown on the stamp. The right stamp celebrates the Bicentenary of the Singapore Police Force. It is from a set of six and was issued on 11th January 2020.

Thank You very much Jobbo! I have to confess that I have never seen a movie of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, so I do not know whether they are good or not. Stay safe!

Writing about Singapore I just have to show this recent stamp. Does it not look impressive?
