Malaysia Stamp - Coronation of New Agung of Malaysia

Because I was in Singapore on the day of issue, I bought this set with FDC cancellation in Kuala Lumpur and Kuantan, the new Agung being the Sultan of Pahang with Kuantan as the capital of Pahang.





I went to Johor Bahru GPO on August 1, 2019 and was only able to get an incomplete set of stamps - minus the 60 sen stamps and no more FDC blank cover. Anyway, creating this unique FDC - better than none. Hope to purchase a full set from other sellers soon.
