As the 2016 National Games (PON) draws nearer, state postal service firm PT Pos Indonesia is
aiming to brighten the nation’s ultimate sporting event by launching a series of sport-themed
stamps.
“For pictures on the stamps, I used surili [the Javan leaf monkey], the mascot of the 2016 PON.
There are a total of 12 sports portrayed by the surili,” said stamp designer Anwar Firdaus on
the sidelines of the launch of the stamp series at the Bandung Post Office recently.
Surili is an Old World monkey native to areas in West Java. Scheduled to be held in September
in Bandung, West Java, the 2016 PON will cover 64 sports. PT Pos Indonesia are offering four
types of philatelic products: a mini sheet consisting of 12 stamps, a first day envelope with
three stamps, a souvenir sheet with one stamp and one gold medal printed on the side of the
stamp, and 14 post cards.
PT Pos Indonesia’s vice president for philately and consignment, Munawar Ainy, said the
issuance of the 2016 PON official stamp was interesting in an era heavily saturated with
internet communication. “Philately as a hobby has been continuously in decline. It has become
a challenge for us to encourage young people to grow their interest in philately."

American writer and has written around 17 books, addressing various aspects of marketing,
advertising, business venturing and leadership. He is also a successful entrepreneur, marketer and
public speaker, who became famous for public speaking when he uploaded his e-book 'Unleashing

He did his MBA degree from Stanford Graduate School of Business and worked as a software brand
manager before he started 'Yoyo dyne', one of the first Internet-based direct-marketing firms, with
revolutionary ideas on how companies should reach their target audiences. The publicity of his firm

years 'Yahoo!' bought the company and kept Godin on as a vice president of permission marketing.
He has produced several critically acclaimed and bestselling books, including, 'All Marketers Are
Liars', and 'Purple Cow', etc. He founded 'Squidoo.com', a website where users can share links and
