In my five-parter blog series on STAMP, I am featuring this yellow postbox with the fourth design that I’m voting for. This postbox has a cultural feel to it and has been painted to resemble a giant antique tiffin carrier (food container).

Back in the olden years, people used this multi-tier container like a lunch box. What made it efficient was that different types of dishes such as rice, vegetables and meat could be carried around, each one compartmentalised into a separate tier.

The artists have painted on pretty floral patterns that make the postbox look really quaint. Spot it at keong saik road in Chinatown. I can’t think of a location that is more apt for this particular postbox!

Woah, you’re like on a treasure hunt finding all these customized Singapore Post Boxes. Has anyone started a Flickr group on this? Would make sense to geo-tag these photos :)

The organisers have a flickr album with all 40 postboxes (link above)! That’s where I got all these pictures. I don’t have time to go hunting for them!
