The story of Singapore's link with orchids began more than a century ago, when the first orchids exchange programme between Singapore and other countries such as the Philippines, Australia and England was recorded in 1875. The successful work of The Singapore Botanic Gardens in cultivating man-made orchid hybrids in sterile media led to subsequent active breeding of many fine hybrids and made Singapore renown as the world's foremost producer of high-quality Aranda and Mokara hybrids. Bigger plans for the industry are in store. By 1995, Singapore aims to boost the industry from its current yearly yield of some $20 million to about $70 million.

This year marks a special year in remembering and appreciating the history of postage stamps in Singapore. Under British colonial rule, Singapore, Penang and Malacca were then collectively known as the Straits Settlements. The Settlements later became the British Crown Colony on 1 April 1867. Postage stamps used during this period were those issued in India. On 1 September 1867, all stamps of India were overprinted with a crown as well as letterings depicting various postage rates. This marked the official release of the first postage stamps in the Straits Settlements. To commemorate the first postage stamp issued in Singapore, a special stamp issue will be released on 1 September 2017, exactly 150 years to the day they were launched.
