Kuching, Blue Lake
This lake, actually closer to the town of Bau, has quite a story, involving arsenic, draining, all sorts of things. We are not certain we would ever swim in it. Card was mailed in 1982, has two stamps and complete Kuching postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20316670
Price: $5.50
Tawau, Town Board Building
Stamp from Sabah, and the postmark is fully legible, so this card is Borneo all the way. Grade: 1

Code: 20316707
Price: $5.00
Kuching, Sarawak Museum
This is a perfect card for someone wanting the total Borneo package–excellent condition, Sarawak stamp, and full postmark. S.W. Singapore card KC441. Grade: 1

Code: 20316725
Price: $3.50
Kuching, Astana (Governor’s House)
S.W. Singapore card KC925, mailed from Sarawak with Sarawak stamps and mostly legible postmark in 1991. Grade: 1

Code: 20316726
Price: $8.00
Sabah, happy Murut family
Mailed, with Sabah stamp, but indistinct postmark. We must note that the caption on reverse is the one that calls this group “A happy Murut family.” We would not know they were happy just by looking at them! Grade: 1

Code: 20316758
Price: $4.00
Belaga, Orang Ulu on the phone
In Sarawak, where Belaga is, maybe “Orang Ulu” isn’t quite as heavy-handed a description of country folk as it is in West Malaysia. So onto the postcard it went. Grade: 1

Code: 20316774
Price: $6.00
Lost Idols of Sarawak
Here’s an international card for you: produced by Sarawak Tourism Board (Malaysian Borneo), then mailed to Hong Kong from The Netherlands with two different stamps and Priority label affixed. Just what a postcard should be. Only because it does not come from country of origin, Grade: 3.

Code: 20316781
Price: $2.00

Unused 5″ x 7″ card SHC/PC/148 from Sabah Handicraft Centre. Grade: 1

Code: 20316792
Price: $3.00
Lahad Datu, Houses on slits (sic)
We think they meant “stilts”, but who knows … this S.W. Singapore card DT6046 was most likely mailed in an envelope as it is fully written on the reverse but there’s no stamp. Grade: 4

Code: 20316800
Price: $2.00
Kota Kinabalu, Pensiangan Muruts playing music
S.W. Singapore card KK6152, written for mailing but with no stamp or postmark. Grade: 4

Code: 20316809
Price: $2.00
Lahat Datu, modern buildings
This S.W. Singapore card DT 6678 was written for mailing but not stamped or otherwise postmarked. We want to wonder why they chose a photo where all the shops seem to be closed. Grade: 4

Price: $4.50

S.W. Singapore card KK6844 shows the 13,455′ summit. Mailed in 1990, the card has a Sabah stamp and faint postmark. Grade: 2

S.W. Singapore card KK6533, mailed from KK in 1990 with Sabah stamp, orange postal bar coding, and a fully legible postmark that missed the stamp entirely. Grade: 3

Code: 20316813
Price: $3.00
Sabah, Mt. Kinabalu, Low’s Peak summit
Though these cards of Mt. Kinabalu’s various peaks all start to look the same, they’re not. This is S.W. Singapore card KK6846, and three are available. All were mailed, each with stamp. Two have readable postmarks (Grades: 2, $3.50) and one has an illegible postmark together with orange bar coding (Grade: 3, $3).

Price: $3.50
Mt. Kinabalu, Sayat Sayat
S.W. Singapore card KK6851 shows this camp at 12,500′, with Donkey’s Ears in the background. Card was mailed in 1991, with stamp and illegible postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 20316815
Price: $3.50
Mt. Kinabalu
The views look the same and the caption writers struggle to describe them differently. This S.W. Singapore card KK6852 just says “Mt. Kinabalu, over 12,000 ft.” Well, that’s true. Mailed in 1991, with Sabah stamp and partial postmark, as well as orange postal bar coding. Grade: 2

Code: 20316816
Price: $4.00
Mt. Kinabalu, Low’s Peak summit (Sabah, Malaysian Borneo)
In this bleak view of the Low’s Peak summit (13,455′), two S.W. Singapore cards KK6853 are available. One has two Sabah stamps, mostly legible postmark, and orange postal bar coding (Grade: 1, $4) while the other was stamped and mailed but without any postmark so we must downgrade the card to Grade: 4 ($2).

Code: 20316817
Price: $4.00
Sandakan, city area
S.W. Singapore card SD 7316 was written for mailing but not stamped, so it probably went in an envelope. Grade: 4

Code: 20316818
Price: $3.00
Miri, Niah Cave
Excellent Borneo postcard with all the right elements in place. It’s S.W. Singapore card MR7482, barely aged, very minor latent creasing, Sarawak stamp and full Kuching postmark from 1991. Hard to get everything right like this. Grade: 1

Code: 20316823
Price: $8.00
Sarawak, beautiful Dayak girls (sic)
S.W. Singapore sometimes got mixed up in their captions. This card KC7488 of course only shows one girl, at her Sarawak Long House. Card mailed in 1991 with Sarawak stamp and full Kuching postmark. Nice. Grade: 1

Code: 20316824
Price: $12.00

Code: 20316826
Price: $3.00
Kota Kinabalu, mosque
This is S.W. Singapore card KK7675, like a mirror image of their card KK7668, but this time it’s only called a mosque, not the “national mosque.” Whatever. Two of these are available.

Code: 20316827
Price: $3.00

Code: 20316837
Price: $8.50
Sarawak 2nd Division, dancing
The Borneo of our childhood was exotic, remote, unreachable, inconceivable. Now what? Hydroelectric dams, logging, Hyatts? S.W. Singapore card SR 7907, with Sarawak stamp, full Kuching 1991 postmark. More the old Borneo than the new. Grade: 1

Code: 20316841
