Malaysia 2014 Visit Malaysia Year

Visit Malaysia Year 2014 stamps were scheduled to be released during the 2013 OMG Stamp Week at Berjaya Times Square.

However, a Filipino wildlife photographer Romy Ocon recognized the bird photo in the Pos Malaysia’s promotional posters on the latter’s Facebook page.  The posters were later taken off the fb page without further explanation.

Romy is not the only photographer accusing of plagiarism by Pos Malaysia.  Singapore based American Con Foley , and UK based Roberto De Micheli too claimed their photographs were being reproduced in the coming VMY stamps.  Malaysian Nature Society ( MNS ) also pointed out that there could be more images being used without permission.

  

The stamp’s design were submitted by Media Eye Sdn Bhd, a design house owned by World Communications Network Resources (M) Sdn Bhd to Tourism Malaysia and Pos Malaysia.
