Pos Malaysia issue a revised the 2020 tentative stamp issues schedule as displayed below. It have been revised heavily from original planned at 18 issues and now cut down to 12 issues, due to Movement Control Order (MCO) that had started from March 18, 2020 to handle the pandemic Covid-19 spreading in Malaysia and all around the world.

The cancelled issues are:
1. Visit Malaysia Year 2020
2. APEC 2020 Malaysia
3. Hidden Treasure of Malaysia - Island
4. Malaysia Street Art Series
5. The World's Tallest Tree - Sabah

Original stamp schedule 2020

There is one (1) new issue added:
Rukun Negara 50 years scheduled on 31-08-2020 (i.e. the National Day issue)
Revised stamp schedule 11-06-2020

Hopefully, the issues would went well as planned. I am looking forward to these issues for which I think would be favorites to collectors:

2. YDP Agong: 28-07-2020
3. Rukun Negara 50 years: 31-08-2020
