So Pos Malaysia has revised its postal rates by 100% from 1st July 2010 onwards. They claim their postal usage has been declining and of course they have not revised their rates for the past 18 years. They needed to adjust their rates so that they can revise their pay to the postal workers to match with the civil servants pay and of course to boost the profitability back to previous years.<\/p>\n

That’s the problem in Malaysia when it comes to public service. They should factor in the inflation and revise their rates if not yearly than at least bi-yearly or tri-yearly. That way the adjustment is not so hefty like a 100% jump up from the usual 30 cents for standard letters to a 60 cents postal rate.<\/p>\n
