Malaysia's location at the southern tip of mainland Asia puts it right in the middle of the sea route between the East and the West, making it a strategic port of call for ships plying the trade route. To fulfill the ever expanding merchant marine requirements, Malaysia has developed a number of modern and well-equipped ports along its coast. This stamp issue features the major ports in Malaysia – Johor Port (30 sen), Kota Kinabalu Port (30 sen), Kuantan Port (50 sen), Penang Port (50 sen) and Bintulu Port (RM1.00).
