Duplicate postcode in Malaysia National Postcode System.

Hi guys,

I know something new today. Do you know that we have a duplicate data in malaysia postcode ? What i mean is that, there is one postcode tagged to two states in Malaysia.

I don’t know this until today when I do my extraction query to give a pool of data to user and I cannot get the data as per what I expected because of this thing. It take me hours to figure this out.grrrrr….

I did a search in Pos Malaysia website and guess what ?

I found out that,postcode 39000 is tagged to two states – Pahang and Perak. I don’t know if there is other case like this.

This data is taken from Pos Malaysia website using Location Finder :

postcode 1postcode 2

Well, that’s all I want to tell you guys today.

    Friend,

    Eventhough the state is publish as Pahang and Perak, but they are located in the same area – Tanah Rata – Cameron Highlands.

    Physically, they did not allocate the postcode to 2 states, but only to one unique location, Tanah Rata.
