Middle Letter Exceptions
There was some speculation as to whether the Singapore government would continue the SDZ series to its next logical sequence - i.e. SEA and then on to SEY etc..

Indeed there was never an SA sequence issued (the S—sequence started with SBA), although this was because the West Coast Division of Sabah state in Malaysia has been using the SA sequence.
