Malaysia Postage Due Stamp, Red and Black

Malaysia · 1965 · 1c

This is a definitive postage due stamp from Malaysia, issued shortly after the formation of the federation. The design features a large numeral '1' indicating the one-cent value, framed by an ornate pattern. The inscription 'MALAYSIA' appears at the top, with 'POSTAGE DUE' below, all printed in black over a red background.

Issued in 1965, this stamp represents the early postal administration of the newly formed Federation of Malaysia, which was established in 1963. Postage due stamps were used to collect payment for insufficient postage from the recipient of a letter.
