A nice cover from Malaysia, showing a complete set of 3 stamps (issued in 2016) celebrating Chinese New Year of the Monkey. The malaysian primates featured on stamps are the Silvered Leaf Monkey, Macaque and White-handed Gibbon:

# Silvered Leaf Monkey
Silvered leaf monkeys are small monkeys with long tails and silvery fur. The silvered leaf monkeys are easily recognisable due to its dark, silver-tipped fur and dark-skinned face. They live in the mangrove and subcoastal forests on the Malaysian Peninsula. Silvered leaf monkeys are arboreal, which means they stick primarily to trees, leaving only when they have to. Males usually live alone, with a group of all males or with a group of all females.

# Macaque Monkeys
Macaques live in many different habitats across the globe, making them the most widely distributed genus of nonhuman primates. Macaques have a very intricate social structure and hierarchy. Macaques are commonly used in research particularly in the neuroscience of visual perception and the visual system.

# White-handed gibbon
A beautiful and captivating primate, the white-handed gibbon (Hylobates lar) is a master of agility. The white-handed gibbon possesses the long arms and hands typical of gibbon species, which are perfectly suited to this pendulous swinging from branch to branch.
