Cancellations

The Batu Caves post office is situated in the kampung of the same name near the famous Batu Caves hill. The post office opened on 25 November 1906. During the Japanese occupation, the Post Office remained open, and a modified pre-war cancellation was used, with Japanese characters. Although the post office is still in operation today, the cancellations no longer bear the name Batu Caves, having been replaced with the Kuala Lumpur chop.
