Kuala Lumpur, Zoo Negara, rabbit
For awhile, rabbit (arnab) was popular as burger meat in Kuala Lumpur street stalls. Bugs Bunny Burgers. Yum. This card was mailed in 1986, with stamp and partly readable postmark and a little extra marking. Grade: 3

Malaysian Sunset
Nice but generic view of a Peninsular Malaysian sunset, with the obligatory palm trees. The card, mailed in 1984 with three different stamps but illegible postmark, has a bi-lingual airmail sticker and some postal battering around the edges. Grade: 3

Code: 20316669
Price: $1.00
Cameron Highlands, You Land Nursery
This is actually a chrysanthemum flower farm. The card dates from 1991 and was mailed, but without a legible postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 20316672
Price: $1.00
Pineapples
Two of these 5″ x 7″ cards are available, each mailed in 1991, each with stamp and mostly legible postmark–though from different Malaysian states. Grades: 1

Code: 20316673
Price: $4.00
Malaysian Fruits
There are several different cards with different photos of the same Malaysian fruits. It’s confusing. The card was mailed in 1983 with two stamps but no legible postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 20316674
Price: $1.00
Malaysian fruits, large card
Three of these larger (5″ x 7″) cards are available, all mailed in 1991 and each with a stamp and most or all of a postmark. Two (Grades: 1, $4) are slightly better than the third (Grade: 2, $3.50).

Code: 20316675
Price: $4.00
East Coast fishing village
Yes, the east coast really does look like this–in a few places. This card was mailed in 1991 with a Pahang stamp and full Kuantan postmark, but as you see there is massive postmark transfer on the front. Grade: 3

Code: 20316676
Price: $2.00
Melaka, Memorial of Independence
This card was mailed from Selangor in 1990, which is the one clear thing about the postmark. There is the Malaysian postal system’s orange bar coding on bottom reverse. Grade: 2

Code: 20316677
Price: $3.00
Penang, Batu Ferringhi Beach
This somewhat odd view of a beach was mailed in 1991 with Perak stamp and full postmark. The caption on reverse says the “popular stretch of beach for … enthusiastic campers.” We can only guess what they meant by that. Grade: 1

Code: 20316678
Price: $3.50
Ipoh, Tai Pee Sim Monastery
Caption informs us this is a monastery of “The Heart of Great Sympathy.” But the card was mailed in 1990 with a Perak stamp, only part of the postmark, and Malaysian postal bar coding on bottom reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 20316679
Price: $3.00
Kuantan, Telok Chempedak Beach
We never really warmed to this beach, so to speak, but if you’re a beach card collector, here it is for you. Mailed in 1991, Pahang stamp and full Kuantan postmark, but also with postmark transfer on the front. Grade: 3

Code: 20316680
Price: $3.50
Kuantan, town centre
Nice full view of the town, which is the state capital of Pahang. Mailed in 1991 with Negeri Sembilan stamp and most of the postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20316681
Price: $4.00
Malacca, Proclamation of Independance Memorial
This 4.75″ x 6.8″ card was mailed in 1997 with a commemorative stamp and faintly distinct postmark. As a reminder, we tend to spell city names and other designations the same way they appear on the cards, which acounts for the variety. Grade: 3

Code: 20316682
Price: $3.50
Batu Ferrighi (sic), parasailing
This card makes this beach look much better than some of the other cards do. Mailed in what looks like 1997 with Perak stamp and barely legible postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 20316683
Price: $3.50
Malacca, handicraft bazaar
To be sure, this stretch of handicraft stalls–when they were open, or even there–had some remarkable items, possibly the best selection in Malaysia. Two cards are available, each mailed in 1991. One has Johor stamp and full, heavily inked postmark (Grade: 1, $4) and the other has an appropriate Melaka stamp and full but faint postmark (Grade: 1, $4).

Code: 20316684
Price: $4.00
Kuala Lumpur, Sultan Abdul Samad Building
Two of these larger (5″ x 7″) cards are available. One was mailed in 1990 with stamp and just part of a postmark, a bit of abrasion on the reverse, and postmark smudging on the front (Grade: 3, $3.50). The other comes from Kukup, Johor, with commemorative wasp stamp and full, very large postmark but also with lots of white correctional fluid on the reverse (Grade: 4, $3.50).

Code: 20316689
Price: $3.50
Island paradise
A 5″ x 7″ card mailed in 2002, with stamp but only part of a postmark. The caption says “Another day in a Malaysian island paradise where blue sky float above the emerald green waters of unspoilt beaches.” Yes, that could be true somewhere, but choose your beach carefully. Significant creasing on this card. Grade: 4

Code: 20316690
Price: $2.00
Penang, Moorish tenement
This 4.75″ x 6.75″ card was mailed in 2003, with stamp and full postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20316692
Price: $4.00
Malacca, Clock Tower in Red Square
You thought the only Red Square was in Moscow? No… This 5″ x 7″ card was mailed in 1991 with Negeri Sembilan stamp and full but faint postmark. Some abrasions on front and reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 20316696
Price: $3.50

Code: 20316698
Price: $3.00
Kuala Lumpur, King’s Palace entrance
This 5″ x 7″ card was mailed in 1991 with commemorative wasp stamp and full, clear Trengganu postmark. There’s some latent creasing on the front along with a bit of ink transfer. Grade: 3

Code: 20316699
Price: $3.50

Code: 20316701

Welcome to Kelantan

Code: 20316702
Price: $3.50
Fishing boat
This 5″ x 7″ card was mailed in 1991 with a Terengganu stamp and full if very faint postmark. There is a pinhole through the lower left corner. While not the only time this happens, it’s a sort of oddity that there are two different yet official spellings of “Trengganu” in the stamp and the postmark. Grade: 4

Code: 20316703
Price: $3.00
Johor Bahru, Bangunan Sultan Ibrahim building
A redundancy in the caption of this card, because “bangunan” means “building” in Malay. Never mind! This 5″ x 7″ card was mailed in 1991, with a Selangor stamp and much of the large postmark. There is some Malaysian postal service orange barcoding on the reverse, and two tiny wormholes along the bottom. Grade: 4

Code: 20316704
Price: $3.50
Bullock cart
Two of these 5″ x 7″ cards are available, each mailed in 1991 with one stamp. One has a full Melaka postmark (Grade: 1, $3.50) and the other has a tear on the bottom edge and no readable postmark. The reverse of this one is a mess (Grade: 4, $2).

Code: 20316705
Price: $3.50

Code: 20316706
Price: $3.00
Johore Bahru, Main Mew of Government Building
This card, mailed in 1986, was used to enter a contest. The front is a little creased and postally battered. The reverse has the stamp but is a mess otherwise. Definitely authentic! Grade: 4

Code: 20316708
Price: $2.50
Johore Bahru, Government Building
Three mailed cards are available, two from 1986 and one from 1990. Two of the three have stamp and partial postmark (Grades: 2, $3). The third has a full postmark but also some ink transfer on the front (Grade: 3, $3).

Code: 20316709
Price: $3.00
Kuala Lumpur, rubber estate
Mailed in 1991, this S.W. Singapore card K123 has a Selangor stamp and nearly all of a large postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20316710
Price: $3.50
Malacca, bullock cart
Not a whole lot of these on the roads any more, certainly not in the middle of Malacca city, where they would quickly become hamburger. S.W. Singapore card M264 was mailed in 1986 with stamp but only partial postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 20316711
Price: $3.00
Kuala Lumpur, Merdeka Stadium
Old A.S.M.K. Singapore card KL287, mailed in 1986 with stamp and most of a postmark. Aging and creased. Grade: 3
