On the 6th of August, 2021, Singapore Post Limited (SingPost) launched a set of stamps as a tribute to Singapore’s frontline workers. In celebration of Singapore’s 56th year of independence, the stamps recognise the diverse groups of frontline workers who have pressed on to serve Singapore in the past year despite the unprecedented challenges they faced.
While healthcare workers have long been recognised as the face of frontline workers since COVID-19 disrupted our everyday lives, there have been many other groups of frontliners who continue to keep the community safe and Singapore’s economy going.
Designed in the form of sketches, the set of 10 stamps features (in sequence) a doctor, nurse, swabber, teacher, bus captain, postman, food deliveryman, cleaner, hawker and supermarket staff.
The stamp set also includes a miniature sheet,
featuring a montage of these frontline workers.
