Hobby as a media of education

Since young, I have been fascinated by postage stamps as storytellers. Every postage stamp tells a story, or part of a story.

It was only two years ago that I discovered that a veteran Singaporean, Dr. Tan Wee Kiat, an avid philatelist, had written several books to tell stories through postage stamps.

Dr Tan epitomizes the storyteller who uses his hobby as a media of education.

Through the painstaking efforts and thorough research with co-authors Koo Hong Piew and Noel Nidalgo Tan, Dr Tan had published several books on various topics based on postage stamps.
