MY-O19



A postcard on shadow play (wayang kulit), an ancient entertainment through storytelling with puppets at the night time. It was sent during a visit to Muar.















A 30 sen stamp on Gunung Ledang was used. It was cancelled at Pusat Mel Muar on 29.10.2017. Tax mark T/20 was cancelled several times next to this stamp. Maybe it was though insufficient postage for oversea destination.
