Pos Malaysia awaits details on tariff hike

KUALA LUMPUR: Pos Malaysia Bhd has yet to obtain official details on the new postal tariff rates and the implementation date from the government although the postal service provider has received a letter confirming the approval for the tariff hike.

“We are awaiting further details on what was approved and tabled. So far, there is nothing to announce yet, ” a source told Bernama.

The source added that the change in pricing would not impact the postage rates for domestic non-commercial users.

Earlier, Nikkei Asian Review reported that the government has approved a proposal from the listed national postal service company to raise rates, its first revision in nearly a decade.

The changes include increase in tariffs, changes in the tariff structure, and deregulation in some segments, a senior government official said. — Bernama
