About






= 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 in Penang, Malacca and Singapore expanding through the rest of Malaya by the early 20th century. Letters were then conveyed through dispatch riders or special messengers. Instead of postage stamps, fees were collected when letters were handed in at the Post Office. Letters posted were given a receipt.
The system later changed when the Indian stamps overprinted with crown and Straits' stamps overprinted with dollars and cents were introduced in 1867. The first inaugural set of postage stamps was introduced in 1901.
The Federated Malay States Posts and Telegraphs Department was formally created on 1 January 1905 with the merger of the postal and telegraph services of Perak, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, and Pahang.

A Malayan Postage Union was established in 1907 that instituted universal postage rates for the Federated Malay States, the Straits Settlements, and Johor. Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu joined in 1909 when they transferred from Thailand to British protection.
It also started as a medium for the transmission of letters, newspapers, and business documents. The postal service soon evolved into a multiple services provider. It began to venture into parcel delivery, registrations, insurance service, transaction of money (postal order & money order), and investment of funds (Post Office Saving Bank).
The postal service, then known as Jabatan Perkhidmatan Pos – Postal Services Department (PSD), also began to take over numerous services on behalf of the Government departments. It started to collect payment of electricity bills, sale of dog licences, payment of pensions, sale of television licence and others.
In 1992, Pos Malaysia Berhad was corporated from the PSD. In September 2001, Pos Malaysia Berhad was listed on the then Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (now known as Bursa Malaysia Berhad) through a reverse takeover of a Philio Allied Berhad assuming its listing status. Today, Pos Malaysia has many Strategic Business Units - POS Laju, POS, Data Pos, POS ArRahnu, POS Digicert, POS Solutions & POS Online.




Origins and Evolution


Pos Malaysia, the parent company of Pos Laju, has its roots in the early postal services established during the Straits Settlements era in the 1800s. The mail system back then primarily served to facilitate communications between the British colonies. After Malaysia gained independence in 1957, the mail system was nationalized, leading to the establishment of Jabatan Perkhidmatan Pos Malaysia or the Malaysian Postal Services Department.




Formation of Pos Laju


Pos Laju was officially launched in 1985 as the express courier arm of Pos Malaysia, focusing on time-sensitive delivery of documents and parcels.




Expansion and Services


Pos Laju offers services including express parcel delivery, logistics, freight forwarding, and e-commerce. The network of Pos Laju encompasses over 1,000 touchpoints, including branches, authorized agents, kiosks, and drop boxes.
