Largest places and their postal codes

The 60 largest places in Malaysia by population, with a postal code for each. Larger towns link to their own page.

Watch the leading zero

Some Malaysia postal codes begin with a zero, such as 01000. Spreadsheets and some web forms silently drop it, turning 01000 into 1000 — which is either a different place or not a valid code at all. Format the column as text before pasting codes into a spreadsheet.

How an address is written in Malaysia

This is the order Malaysia's postal service expects. Square brackets mark what you replace.

MALAYSIA

A postal code is required in a complete Malaysia address.

Look up a specific address

For the code covering one particular street or building, Malaysia's postal service publishes an official finder: www.pos.com.my. It is authoritative and kept current, which third-party copies often are not.
