  • Kuantan, shore

    This real-photo card had been blank on the reverse but the writer’s message identifies Peninsular Malaya’s East Coast location.  The card was mailed in 1961 with its postmark and a “Singapore Malaya” stamp.  The diagonal brown line on the left might have been remnants of a rubber band.  Grade: 3

  • Jesselton Town View

    Remarkable North Borneo real-photo card posted in 1961 with a North Borneo stamp and postmark.  All that’s missing is the cooking pot.  Did we ever tell you why what is now Kota Kinabalu was once called Jesselton?  Thanks to Wikipedia:  by the end of 1899, construction started on shop lots, a pier and government buildings. This new administrative centre was renamed Jesselton after Sir Charles Jessel, then Vice-Chairman of BNBC (British North Borneo Company).  Eventually, Jesselton became a major trading post of North Borneo, dealing in rubber, rattan, honey, and wax.  Maybe the Chairman was not amused?  Grade: 1

  • Bandar Kota Bharu, Kelantan

    The principal city (“Bandar” in Bahasa Malaysia) of the Malaysian state of Kelantan, “KB” as it is known is a conservative outpost.  This card was mailed most likely in the 1970s, and has two different stamps and a large postmark but it also suffers from something — possibly a thick rubber band — having stuck on the reverse.  egardless, the front is fine and is a good multi-view snapshot into this remote location.  Grade: 4

  • Sarawak, warrior

    The reverse of this uncaptioned real-photo card was originally blank; it’s old.   Then it was written and mailed from Kuching, probably late 1960s or very early 70s, with two Malaysia/Sarawak stamps and indistinct postmark.  We could speculate as to which ethnic group this man attends, but to no end.  Grade: 1

  • Sibu, water view

    We always try to be careful when we describe an entry, and this one requires more effort.  It’s an older, real-photo card.  The reverse was originally blank but the sender identifies the location as “the Chinese land above Sibu” (Sarawak).  The sender’s return address in Brunei is rubber-stamped, and the stamp is British with a postmark indicating “Field Post Office” (for the Forces).  Can’t say exactly when, but we think late 1960s or early 1970s.  Grade: 1

  • Malay Tapper, Tapping Rubber Tree

    During our long tenure in Malaysia, we got the impression that tapping rubber trees was almost exclusively the work for ethnic Indian residents.  This fellow looks quite fresh to have been at it for very long.  The card was mailed, probably in the early 1960s, with  Malaya/Perak stamp, but uncancelled.  Grade: 3
