Stamps from Malaysia

Maleisië

Malaysia is a Southeast Asian kingdom on the Malay Peninsula and in the north of the island of Borneo. In 1963, the Federation of Malacca, an independent kingdom, united with the British Crown Colonies of North Borneo (under the name Sabah), Sarawak and Singapore to form the independent Kingdom of Malaysia. From then on, joint stamps were issued for Malaysia, although separate stamps were also issued for the state of Perak and from 1964 also for Sabah and Sarawak. In 1965, Singapore was unilaterally expelled from the Federation of Malaysia by the Federal Parliament and transformed into an independent republic. From 1965, the other Malaysian states of Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Malacca, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Penang, Perlis, Selangor and Trengganu also issued their own stamps. The Federal Territory of Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, and since 1984 and 2001 respectively Labuan and Putrajaya) has also issued its own postage stamps since 1979.

Malaysia (Malaysia) is a federal state in Southeast Asia. It is a democratic, constitutional monarchy. The Sultans of the various states elect the King (Yang di-Pertuan Agong) from among themselves. The title "King" is therefore non-hereditary.
At the end of the nineteenth century, a number of areas came under the influence of the English, who traded extensively there (tin, rubber, numerous tropical agricultural products). This also created a need for a good postal service. In the beginning, this went via Siam (Thailand) and via the postal services of India. However, the various Malay states soon joined the Universal Postal Union, after which they themselves took care of the international postal traffic. You will find these stamps with the relevant states, which can be found in Catawiki under Malaysia - State name. This concerns Johore, Kedah, Kelantan, Malacca, Neg(e)ri Sembilan, Pahang, Penang (Pulau Pinang), Perak, Perlis, Sabah, Sarawak, Selangor and Trengganu. There is also Malaysia - Federal Territory (Wilayah Persekutuan) and the former issues of the island of Labuan and the Straits Settlements. For the sake of completeness it should be noted here that Brunei has never been part of the Federation, and that Singapore is also considered a separate collection area.
At present, the states only issue the so-called "omnibus series", consisting of the lowest postage values. For the higher values, the general issues of the Federation are used.
Examples of these omnibus editions can be seen in the accompanying image. See the individual areas for the complete series.

Maleisië is een Zuidoost-Aziatisch koninkrijk op het schiereiland van Malakka en in het noorden van het eiland Borneo. In 1963 verenigde de Federatie van Malakka, een onafhankelijk koninkrijk, zich met de Britse kroonkolonies Noord-Borneo (onder de naam Sabah), Sarawak en Singapore tot het onafhankelijk koninkrijk Maleisië. Vanaf dan worden gezamenlijke postzegels uitgegeven voor Maleisië, hoewel meteen ook aparte postzegels werden uitgegeven voor de deelstaat Perak en vanaf 1964 ook voor Sabah en Sarawak. In 1965 werd Singapore door het federaal parlement eenzijdig uit de Federatie van Maleisië gestoten en omgevormd tot een onafhankelijke republiek. Vanaf 1965 geven ook de overige Maleise deelstaten Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Malakka, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Penang, Perlis, Selangor en Trengganu eigen postzegels uit. Voor het Maleis Federaal Territorium (Kuala Lumpur, en vanaf 1984 en 2001 resp. Labuan en Putrajaya) worden sinds 1979 eveneens eigen postzegels uitgegeven.

Maleisië (Malaysia) is een federatieve staat in Zuidoost Azië. Het is een democratische, constitutionele monarchie. De Sultans van de diverse staten kiezen de Koning (Yang di-Pertuan Agong) uit hun midden. De titel “Koning” is dus niet-erfelijk.

Eind negentiende eeuw kwamen een aantal gebieden onder invloed van de Engelsen, die er uitgebreid handel dreven (tin, rubber, talloze tropische landbouwprodukten). Daarmee ontstond tevens behoefte aan een goede postdienst. In het begin ging die via Siam (Thailand) en via de posterijen van India. Al snel sloten de verschillende Maleise staten zich echter aan bij de Wereldpostvereniging, waarna ze zélf het internationale postverkeer gingen verzorgen Die zegels vindt u dus bij de betreffende staten, die in Catawiki zijn te vinden onder Maleisië - Staatsnaam. Het betreft Johore, Kedah, Kelantan, Malacca, Neg(e)ri Sembilan, Pahang, Penang (Pulau Pinang), Perak, Perlis, Sabah, Sarawak, Selangor en Trengganu. Verder is er nog Maleisië – Federaal Gebied (Wilayah Persekutuan) en de voormalige uitgaven van het eiland Labuan en de Straits Settlements. Voor de volledigheid wordt hier gemeld, dat Brunei nooit tot de Federatie heeft behoord, en dat ook Singapore als een apart verzamelgebied wordt beschouwd.

Thans geven de staten alleen nog de zogenaamde „omnibusseries“ uit, bestaande uit de laagste frankeerwaarden . Voor de hogere waarden worden de algemene uitgaven van de Federatie gebruikt.

Voorbeelden van deze omnibusuitgaves ziet u in bijgaande afbeelding. Zie bij de afzonderlijke gebieden voor de volledige series.
