MY POSTMARK: PASIR GUDANG, JOHOR


MALAYSIA, Tuanku Jaa'far of Negeri Sembilan (10th Yang Di-Pertuang Agong), 30 sen, 1994

Pasir Gudang is an industrial town located 35 km east of Johor Bahru in Malaysia.
The name Pasir Gudang originated from the existence of a sand mine at Kampung Ulu. 
Sand or 'pasir' in Malay are dug and stocked in sand pits/stores or 'gudang' in Malay, to be exported to Singapore, hence the name 'Pasir Gudang'.
