1-Malaysia Slogan Postmark on 1-Malaysia stamp

It is very nice to have 1-Malaysia slogan postmark on 1-Malaysia stamp. The 1-Malaysia stamps were released on August 31, 2009. However, all the post offices throughout the country close for business on that day. So, the machine cancellation from mail centres resumed work on September 1, 2009. I managed to get some covers with 1-Malaysia stamps cancelled by 1-Malaysia postmark on September 1, 2009.
