Soon, there will be a new enactment in the Parliament called the Information Act Bill to replace the failed Personal Data Protection Bill which gives more power in the protection of privacy to the parties that not only focus on business purpose but also for public good.

All Postcode numbers for Malaysia is available at Pos Malaysia in a booklet (with a price to pay, but it is not expensive). Last time I bought it quite a few years ago.

At that time, the Postcode booklet was only RM4.00 (four ringgits), if I am not mistaken. It should not be more that RM10. That was before the privatization of Pos Malaysia.
