In 1987, Malaysia issued its first ATM (Automated Teller Machine) or Frama labels, which were used as variable value stamps. These stamps were first issued on May 25, 1987, and were part of the "POS" or Post Office Savings emblem collection. They are categorized as ATM, Frama, or VSS (Variable Value Stamps) and are identifiable by their rectangular shape and normal perforations.
The user pays with coins and selects the required face value using the 3 buttons, programmed with basic postage values (15, 20 and 40 c), 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 5 c, 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) (WP - Wilayah Persekutuan)
