Observed each year on 9 October, this important day celebrates the anniversary of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) while bringing awareness to the role the postal sector plays in people\u2019s and businesses\u2019 everyday lives and its contribution to the world\u2019s social and economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme for this year\u2019s World Post Day, \u201c150 years of enabling communication and empowering peoples across nations\u201d, took centre stage at the local celebration held at Pos Malaysia\u2019s headquarters in Dayabumi Complex earlier today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graced by YB Fahmi Fadzil, Minister of Communications<\/strong>, and YB Teo Nie Ching, Deputy Minister of Communications<\/strong>, the event spotlighted Pos Malaysia\u2019s new short film which showcased the Company\u2019s remarkable transformation story over the past two centuries to become more than just a post office for the rakyat today, and its steadfast commitment to delivering connections and improving lives. The two-minute short film drew thunderous applause from the audience at the end of its screening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tan Sri Syed Faisal Albar, Chairman of Pos Malaysia,<\/strong> said: \u201cThis short film not only pays homage to Pos Malaysia\u2019s rich and long-standing heritage in the country but more importantly it signifies our commitment to continuously meeting the changing needs of the people of Malaysia in this digital age. Today, Pos Malaysia no longer just delivers mail and parcels; we now offer a variety of innovative products and services, ranging from end-to-end logistics, and aviation (ground handling), to retail and digital solutions. We have come a long way in our purpose of connecting people and businesses for a better tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YB Fahmi <\/strong>echoed Tan Sri Syed Faisal Albar\u2019s sentiment: \u201cEven as we stand at a crossroads between tradition and innovation, Pos Malaysia continues to be a backbone of our country\u2019s trade and economic development. As we come together to celebrate World Post Day, let\u2019s be reminded that postal service is more than just a system to deliver mail and parcels. It represents a critical infrastructure that supports economic growth, facilitates trade, and connects the communities. The value of the personal and tangible touch of postal services remains irreplaceable in the fast-paced digital communication era that we all live in today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He commended Pos Malaysia on its continuous strive for service excellence. Pos Laju successfully attained a 4-star rating from the MyKurier programme and was crowned the fastest and most reliable courier service provider by the MCMC Star Rating Awards 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, to everyone in Pos Malaysia \u2013 from the Abang Pos who are out on duty come rain or shine, to the staff at the sorting centre, back office, and service counters \u2013 we appreciate your dedication. You are the unsung heroes who play a vital role in keeping our nation connected,\u201d YB Fahmi added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Minister later presented long service awards to sixteen (16) Pos Malaysia employees who have been with the Company for 35 years and above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the event, Pos Malaysia also unveiled a set of specially designed commemorative stamps launched in conjunction with World Post Day. Priced at RM50.50 each, this limited edition set \u2013 which comes in a folder consisting of a stamp sheet, a miniature sheet, a First Day Cover envelope with a stamp, and a First Day Cover envelope with a miniature sheet \u2013 is available at all Pos Malaysia\u2019s Philatelic Bureaus, including 13 General Post Offices nationwide, and online at https:\/\/shop.pos.com.my<\/a> while stocks last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The celebration concluded with YB Fahmi, YB Teo, and special guests flagging off Pos Malaysia’s latest batch of electric vehicles (EVs), underscoring the organisation’s commitment to delivering a greener future. More than 1,000 electric bikes and over 300 electric vans are scheduled to join its already impressive EV fleet in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a progressive organisation in championing sustainability for both Malaysia and the logistics sector, we are proud of the progress we have made thus far in our sustainability roadmap launched last year. Currently, Pos Malaysia has 200 electric motorcycles and 143 electric vans, which have covered a distance of 2.8 million kilometres, equivalent to 71 times around the Earth. Central to our path to Net Zero is the transition to EVs, where we now have the largest EV fleet in Malaysia\u2019s logistics sector. Our growing number of EVs is a testament to our ongoing focus to reduce emissions generated by vehicles and ultimately achieve 100% first and last-mile green delivery by 2030,\u201d said Tan Sri Syed Faisal Albar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pos Malaysia is slated to kick off the promotion of its new brand film from 9 October on various touchpoints including social media and digital billboards. This is followed by a series of exciting activities that will be held at the post offices, with limited edition merchandise up for grabs for customers who make transactions at any of the post offices from 16 October until 31 December 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
