The year 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the three organisations – Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS), JTC and Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS). Over the past 50 years, each of these organisations played a critical and significant role in establishing Singapore as a leading research institute for the region, building our nation for economic progress and cultivating a positive society for a brighter future. This stamp issue is released to commemorate and celebrate the 50th anniversary milestone of these organisations.
