This stamp shows Mount Kinabalu, at that time already known as the highest peak in North Borneo. It is the highest peak in Malaysia and of the Malay Archipelago at a height of 4095 metres. The area around the mountain (Taman Kinabalu) was designated as a national park in 1964 and was accorded UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 2000. It is Malaysia's first World Heritage Site and still remains it's largest.
