COMMUNICATIONS AND THE MEDIA
Studies are in hand to computerise the Speedpost acceptance and accounting procedures, as well as to improve tracking of outward mail. The feasibility of introducing a self-service automatic mailing system is also being considered.
The Post Office issued five sets of special stamps in 1993. These featured the Year of the Cock, Chinese string musical instruments, the 40th anniversary of the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, science and technology in the territory and Hong Kong goldfish.
Several philatelic products were also issued during the year, including new FRAMA (electronic postage) labels for the Year of the Cock. The second Hong Kong Classics Series of definitive stamp sheets was released in July. This $10 definitive stamp sheet bore reproductions of the four special stamps issued in 1935 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of the reign of King George V. Another definitive stamp sheet was released in August to publicise the HONG KONG '94 Stamp Exhibition to be held in February 1994. This event, which is being jointly organised by the Hong Kong Post Office, will be the first regional stamp exhibition in the territory. An attractively-designed definitive stamp sheet was issued in October to mark the participation by the Post Office in the international stamp exhibition BANGKOK '93.
