However, postcode area boundaries may cross state borders, as areas near to state borders may be served by post offices located in another state, and therefore use postcodes of the assigned post offices.

In 2014, Rajasingam was honoured with the ''Darjah Panglima Jasa Negara'' (PJN), which carries the title of "Datuk", for his contributions to the postal service. Areas Listed below are the f ...
