History
The history of Pos Malaysia Berhad can be traced back to the early 1800s with the establishment of postal services first in the Straits Settlements (Penang, Malacca, and Singapore) and gradually, it covered the entire Malaya by early 20th century.
Letters were delivered through dispatch riders or special messengers then. Instead of postage stamps, fees were collected when letters were handed in at the Pos office and letters posted were given a receipt.
Over the years, the evolution of technology saw the emergence of digital media/internet and changing customer behaviours. Despite the personal touch and sentimental value attached to traditional mails, this market is shrinking, replaced by the more popular social media and SMS.
Pos Malaysia Berhad is also going through the same evolution. No longer are we the traditional postal corner, as we embark into the 21st century, we have and are evolving to meet the demands and needs of our customers’ changing behaviours and marketplace.
Together with the role of the national postal provider, Pos Malaysia Berhad has morphed into a conglomerate, offering supply chain solutions and financial services, competing directly and indirectly with many companies in both domestic and international areas.
