Mail sorting in Peninsular Malaysia is going through some changes. A new mail centre has been built in Shah Alam known as National Mail Centre (NMC), Shah Alam. This new NMC Shah Alam has replaced the old Bukit Raja Mail Centre. In the near future the Kuala Lumpur Mail Centre, B.B.Bangi Mail Centre and Seremban Mail Centre will be closed down, and all the mail processed by these mail centres will be sent to NMC Shah Alam. NMC Shah Alam adopts "ink-jet" method for cancellation.
Below is a cover processed by NMC Shah Alam using 1-Malaysia slogan postmark. There is a red ink (inflourescent) marking at the bottom of the cover. This red marking consists of a barcode and a six-digit date. This red (inflourescent) marking is essential for sorting mail using light scanning method.
