Ipoh, Dulang washer
The dulang is apparently the round bowl-shaped object used to separate the tin ore from the waste material. You see what you learn when you visit us? Anyway, three of these mailed S.W. Singapore cards I342 are available. Two have partial postmarks (Grades: 1, $3.50) while one has the stamp but no postmark at all (Grade: 3, $2.50).

Kuala Lumpur, Viaduct
S.W. Singapore card K.L 1722 was stamped for mailing (and mailed0 but there’s no postmark. An abrasion on the front left, which would look like a cloud in the photo you see here. Grade: 4

Code: 20316730
Price: $3.50
Kuala Lumpur, National Monument
Another S.W. Singapore card, K.L. 1728, when the cars were smaller and there weren’t so many trees. Mailed in 1990, the card itself is much older. It has a stamp and most of a K.L. postmark. Also some orange postal bar coding on the reverse. Grade: 3

Kuala Lumpur, Bukit Nanas cablecars
These cable cars are long, long gone–as is much of the virgin jungle that used to take pride of place in this location. Two S.W. Singapore cards KL1733 are available, one mailed in 1986 and one in 1990, though the cards are older. Each has the stamp and most of a postmark. Grades: 1

Malacca, the Clock Tower
Possibly one of the most photographed spots in the country. One could easily build a collection of postcards showing only this location. S.W. Singapore card M2056, mailed in 1990 with Pahang stamp and half of the postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 20316736
Price: $3.00
Kuala Lumpur, Masjid Negara
It is interesting but not significant to most of us that S.W. Singapore, the publishers of this card, gave the same index number (KL2082) to at least two different photos of the same mosque. You can see the other in our card 20316738. For this particular shot, two cards are available, each one aging notably with theor own stamp and partial postmarks. Grades: 3

Code: 20316737
Price: $3.50
Kuala Lumpur, Masjid Negara (second version)
Same S.W. Singapore index number (KL2082) as our card 20316737, but not the same photo. Four of these are available, all used. Two were mailed from Negeri Sembilan, with stamp and partial postmark, and ink transfer on the front (Grades: 3, $2.50). The other two were mailed in Kuala Lumpur with Wilayah Persekutuan stamp and full postmarks (Grades: 1, $3).

Price: $3.00
Kuala Lumpur, busy street scene
At its worst, K.L. had some of the most impressive traffic jams in Asia–so bad that it was possible to leave the car, go for a coffee, and come back with nothing having moved. We have not been there for awhile, and hope the situation has improved. Two of these S.W. Singapore cards K.L. 5082 are available. One was mailed in 1990 with two stamps and partial postmark, along with orange barcoding (Grade: 3, $4.50) and the other in 1991 with stamp and large, full Batu Arang postmark that missed the stamp (Grade: 2, $5).

Langkawi, Pelangi Beach Resort

Price: $2.50
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: $8.00
Kuala Lumpur, Batu Caves
Unmailed card but with the message area taken up with a handwritten note. According to the printed caption, “There is a Hindu five legged cow.” The writer–and we–wondered if the cow was still there, and if it was really Hindu. Grade: 4

Code: 20316763
Price: $4.00
Kota Bharu, Beach of Passionate Love
The story behind the card is more interesting than the card itself. Located in Malaysia’s most conservative Islamic state, someone got wise to the English name of this otherwise boring and unlovely beach, and all the English signs disappeared, leaving the Bahasa Malaysia name of Pantai Cinta Berahi, which comes close but doesn’t carry quite the innuendo. TMI. Mailed in 1990 with Kelantan stamp and full postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20316764
Price: $3.50
