Singapore Post released two great stamps to mark the arrival of the Year of the Ox, the second animal in the Chinese zodiac cycle. The items will feature two graphical illustrations of an ox by Ms Lim An-Ling, an artist who previously designed the 2020 Year of the Rat and 2019 Singapore Bicentennial stamp sets.
“According to tradition, people born in the years of the Ox are known to be strong, reliable, fair and conscientious, inspiring confidence in others. They are also calm, patient, methodical and trustworthy. They believe strongly in themselves, but are also stubborn and hate to fail or be challenged." - SingPost said in a media release.
The Year of the Metal Ox comes after the Year of the Metal Rat (2020) and before the Year of the Water Tiger (2022). The Ox is the second of all zodiac animals, coming after the Rat. In the Chinese Zodiac, the Ox is very hardworking and methodical. That is why 2021 is going to be a year when hard work will be rewarded.
