This is the 20c First Class Airmail rate to Malaya and Singapore plus another 25c for registration. It was dated 25 JUL 61 and cancelled by Train Mail D10 and the R3 registration cachet. Proud gives a range of 16.1.61-15.9.63 for this cachet. The cover originated from Membakut.
This was dated 31MAR72 by a faint Railway TPO 1 cancellation at the inclusive rate of 75c. There are transit cancels through Kota Kinabalu and a Johore arrival cancel. It has the K.
