Greeting is part of everyday life. Everyone greets whenever they met a stranger or when expressing their friendliness. It is a gesture of good will, warm regards and wishes to one another.

Even the deaf have their own forms of greetings for each other. In this stamp issue, we are featuring 5 different greetings in sign language that are commonly used among the deaf community in Singapore – Hi, Welcome, Thanks, Good Bye and I Love You.
Greetings wth Sign Languages stamp issue aims to create awareness of the deaf community in our midst, and at the same time, allows everyone to learn how to communicate with the deaf community with simple greetings in sign languages. We hope this stamp issue will bring good cheer to you as you learn the greetings in sign languages!!
