In 1987 the Malaysia postal administration (Jabatan Perkhidmatan Pos Malaysia) tested an ATM vending machine, model FE 254, from the Swiss company FRAMA. The distributor was installed on May 25th 1987 in the Dayabumi complex, in the capital's main post office, Kuala Lumpur.
The user pays with coins and selects the required face value using the 3 buttons, programmed with basic postage values (15, 20 and 40c), or it issues an ATM with the value corresponding to the inserted coin(s) or the value of any change. The smallest value coin accepted was 5c, which also corresponded to the lowest face value that was available from the ATM machine.
The FRAMA distributor used a unique gummed paper, with a neutral yellow background with the postal emblem and the continuous text JABATAN PERKHIDMATAN POS MALAYSIA.
The vending machine's
red imprint includes a design with the country's name, face value, the Bunga
Raya (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), the
national flower of Malaysia, in the lower left corner, and the machine number
(WP 001).
