The Christ Church of Melaka 马六甲基督大教堂

马六甲著名旅游景点 - 基督大教堂, 有幸让邮政当局选中上了邮票. 在大马, 宗教问题向来敏感, 从来就不敢想像有朝一日宗教建筑会有机会走入大马邮票. 这一回拜2007大马观光年来临之际, 为了标榜马来西亚是个多元宗教的国度, 旅游局特别通融, 才把这一所历史悠久荷兰人所留下来的基督大教堂给设计上了邮票. 这是一个制作极限片的大好机会... 宗教事物走入大马邮票的确是项果敢的突破, 将来是不是再会破例, 就很难说. 方寸间的基督大教堂图甚小,然而不足之处, 极限片正好可以彌補小图的缺憾! 老远赶到马六甲基督大教堂附近的邮政局完成了制作几枚原地极限片, 给历史留下了一些记录!
Glad to have the Christ Church building featured on the 2007 Visit Malaysia Year series of Stamps. Religion is a sensitive issue in Malaysia, although, Malaysians enjoy the freedom of individual beliefs, the people are cautious about the Religious matters. A religious building/architecture was selected to be featured on the Malaysian stamp is a real breakthrough. I took the opportunity to realise several maximum cards to capture the full view of the Architecture on cards.
