Malaysia
Address format
- The post office in Malaysia prefers addresses to be written in capital letters.
- Punctuation is not necessary, though can be used to separate abbreviations and numbers and names.
- There is a five digit postcode which should be written to the left of (and on the same line as) the name of the city.
- Since the first two numbers of the postcode denotes the state, there is no need to write the name of the state on the address.
- Example:
MR SMITH
COMPANY X
NO.2, JALAN JURURANCANG U1/21
SEKSYEN U1
HICOM GLENMARIE INDUSTRIAL PARK
40150 SHAH ALAM
MALAYSIA
