If you are a university student trying to apply for PTPTN or any other educational loan from your school or external foundations, it is very likely you're required to purchase two or more so called ''Duty Stamps" and attach the stamps to your documents. Each costs you RM10.
Duty stamp is also publicly known as revenue stamp or setem hasil or many other names you probably find online but you're not sure if they're referring to the same thing.
Now, the question comes, where can you get the duty stamps? Should you go to LHDN (sounds a not familiar place to you and long queue probably) or can you just get the stamps from any post office? The loan guideline only told you to attach two duty stamps but didn't inform you where to get them, right?
Worry no more, the duty stamp / revenue stamp / setem hasil can be purchase from all post office (Poslaju) in Malaysia, each stamp will exactly cost you for RM10.
As on 20 August 2021, during MCO/FMCO/EMCO/phaseII/phaseIII (not sure which stage we are in now, there are just too many phases and confusing to memorize), as long as the post office is opened, you can get the duty stamp from them (no appointment needed). When you're inside the post office, get a number from the queue ticket dispenser machine, wait patiently until the system calls your number, tell the counter officer you want to buy two of these duty stamps, pay RM20 and done. No question asked. I went to buy two duty stamps in the Friday morning around 8:45am, the post office is not crowded and I got the duty stamps within 5 minutes. God blessed.
Duty stamp / revenue stamp / setem hasil not only serves PTPTN loan application, but also other applications that involve documents that need legal power.

The post office has a bunch of these duty stamps (really a lot, the officer tore those two duty stamps from a 7cm * 21 cm * 29cm box filled with all these stamps). So, don't worry if they'll out of stock.
