more, the date is also indicated in this seal '11-10-24' on the

Not sure what this "S.M.C." overprint was used for.
Large "BMA MALAYA" overprint on larger fiscal stamp of
100 $ blue and lilac in a similar design, another stamp 25 $
brown and red exists with this "BMA MALAYA" overprint.
A postal forgery of the 50 c (left and middle), together with a
genuine 50 c (right). The forgery was made by colouring a
genuine1 c black with green dye and repainting the figure of
value (thus replacing '1 c' by '50 c'). This forgery can also be
found in the book 'Postal Forgeries of the World' by H.G. Leslie
Fletcher.
