| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate Singapore Airlines' 50th anniversary — though the carrier was only founded as Singapore Airlines in 1972, following the dissolution of Malaysia-Singapore Airlines. The "50 years" figure traces back to 1947, when Malayan Airways flew its first commercial service. Whether that lineage is inherited or adopted depends on who's writing the history.
