This is a small museum about the history of the stamps of Malaysia and to a lesser extent, the postal service of Malaysia. As the postal service really began with the British Empire, the oldest stamps in the collection look a lot like British stamps, that is, containing a portrait of the sovereign. I also learned about the stamps of the individual states prior to the formation of Federal Malaysia, which was actually quite interesting. There’s a cabinet with stamps from the 1950s through to the early parts of this century. I’m no philatelist nor an enthusiast, but I still enjoyed looking at the history and some of the designs, especially one with nature designs. This museum is quite small and consists of only one floor, but for the small entrance fee, I thought it was interesting.

Great little museum about the history of stamps, focusing on Malaysian stamps and the surrounding areas. Very interesting information boards about local stamps, including the post master who cut stamps in half due to a shortage and inscribed the value on them, they are now very rare and expensive.
