22 February 2003: Roses in Malaysia

This FDC was cancelled in Brinchang.

This MS FDC was cancelled in Tanah Rata.

03 March 2003: Father of Independence

These FDCs were cancelled in Kuala Lumpur with an additional Jln. (Jalan) T. A. Rahman. This additional cancellation is actually a mistake as T. A. Rahman actually refers to Tuanku Abdul Rahman, the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong during Independence. I thought it was pretty interesting to include these covers.

Here are the FDCs cancelled in Alor Setar.

Here is a FDC cancelled in Melaka, Pulau Pinang, Sungai Petani, Teluk Intan and Bintulu corresponding to the clock towers on the cover. The Bintulu cancellation is a forgery. This was discovered recently (2018) as more samples of Bintulu cancellations were compared between concordant collectors.

16 December 2003: Stamp Week ’03 Primates of Malaysia Red Leaf & Proboscis Monkey

This FDC was supposed to be cancelled in Miri. On closer inspection, I believe that the cancellation is an inkjet. This is probably a fake FDC made to the likeness of the Stamp Week cancellations. I acquired this in the open market.

These are the real deals cancelled in Miri along with the Stamp Week cachet. I do not have information on the 2 types of cachet. Anyone can share on the difference?

These two FDCs contain all the daily cancellations from the Stamp Week as well as the Stamp Week 2003 cachet and autographed by the designer, Mr KY Lim.

This is a complimentary FDC cancelled in Kuala Lumpur. It was given out to VIPs, media and for competitions organised by Pos Malaysia.

Here is another version of the complimentary FDC.
