During WW2, Johore's capital, Johor Bahru, became the last city on the Malay peninsula to fall to the Japanese. The only occupation stamps listed by Scott [1] specifically for Johore are post due labels.

Johore joined the Federation of Malaya in February 1948 and Malaysia in 1963. It had its own stamps within Malaysia from 1965 until 1986.
