Bagan Serai Post Office, Perak - Visit on July 27, 2023

I visited Bagan Serai Post Office to do FDC cancellation on Largest Chengal Tree new issue but the FDC chop already returned earlier in the day. Fortunately, I was able to buy a precancelled FDC of Bagan Serai Post Office of both Largest Chengal Tree and Mountain Ranges of Malaysia from the Post Office.

PERLIS: Kangar Post Office

First Day Cancellation of Kangar Post Office, Perlis. The main reason why I visited Kangar Post Office is because this is a joint stamp issue of Malaysia and Thailand and I can go across to Thailand on the same day as Perlis is next to Thailand boundary.

Another visit to Kangar Main Post Office - on a raining day in September 2018.

I drove to Kulim and created these First Day Cover cancellations at Kulim Post Office, Kedah.

This First Day Cancellation cover was sent by Jaque of Kulim, Malaysia.

This last item in 2017 is a preprinted stamped First Day Cover to celebrate the success of Kuala Lupur 2017 ASEAN Games. I was not in Malaysia and so bought this cover later from a stamp dealer for my collection. It is cancelled in Kulim, Kedah.

PENANG: Penang Main Post Office

I created this first day cover for the 150 Years of Straits Settlements - Provisional Issue in September 2017. Penang was part of the Straits Settlements.

I created these FDC for my own collection. The miniature sheet was too large and so I glued on the far right side of it to the FDC envelope allowing it to flip up to reveal the full design of the left hand side of the FDC cover. I cancelled it at Penang Dato Kramat Post Office - my first time to do it at this post office.
