My collection only starts from the year of Malaysia gained independence from the British in 1957. For the first 6 years the stamps bore the title of Malaysian Federation. In 1963 Sabah and Sarawak were added to the federation and Singapore left.
In the Malayan peninsula, individual states like Johore, Kedah, Kelantan, Pahang, Penang, Perak, etc. all used to issue their own stamps. Then Malaysia came into being in 1965 and all these states now use Malaysia stamps.
