Registered Labels

I am not really into collecting registered labels of Malaysia. However, these registered labels are quite attractive. If not mistaken, there are altogether six types of registered labels in Malaysia. I show here only five types - red, blue, green, brown and yellow. The other one type I do not show here is a pink colour one. The red label is for domestic registered mail; the blue label is for international registered mail; the green label is for postal service registered mail; the brown label is for registered mail delivering traffic summons; and the yellow label is for domestic AR registered mail. On the other hand, the pink label (not shown here) is for international incoming registered mail.

Smart Tunnel Postcards

Pos Malaysia gave away a set of six postcards for the purchase of the Smart Tunnel stamps in General Post Office KL. These postcards are quite attractive, and they are nice for making maxicards.
