 | | The states in question were PAHANG, PERAK, SELANGOR and NEGERI SEMBILAN, the latter again a federation comprising of 9 statelets - Johol, Ulu Muar, Jempol, Terachi, Inas, Gunong Pasir, Rembau, Tampin and Gemencheh. |
 | | Britain took over foreign representation and defense of the FMS; while domestic policy was the responsibility of the states' respective princes, the British RESIDENT GENERAL, officially only in an advising capacity, was the most influential person in the area, as the individual princes were bound by treaty to accept his advice. |
 | | The individual states continued to issue their own stamps; stamps were occasionally issued for the FMS together, but these were the exception rather than the rule. |
