Visit Malaysia Year 1990
Leaving little doubt about the age of the card, it was mailed in 1991 with a stamp but not any legible postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 20316760
Price: $2.00
Kuala Lumpur, Sultan Abdul Samad Building
Not only the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, but also Bank Pertanian and Dayabumi, the anchor points (then, at least) of downtown Kuala Lumpur.

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

Greetings from Malaysia
The multiple views are all in Kuala Lumpur but the card was mailed in Perak with stamp and very large postmarks on reverse and front (which, for this card only, we don’t consider to be a flaw). The writer may not have been familiar with postcards as he put his own address where the recipient’s should have gone, so someone in the post office (?) drew a big red arrow to guide the postman. Altogether, this card, Grade: 2

Code: 20316784

Malaysian countryside
