The post office staff is helpful.  I have sent some registered covers and postcards to Singapore.  She help me struck the clear postmarks on the back of the postcards.

The postmark is rubber stamp and it is quite clear.  The staff use two rubber stamps: one for double ring postmark and one for the date, struck separately.  There is no registration marking at this PO. The staff write the registration number and CTA for short.
