Tell Us When You Move Urges Post Official

Bandar Seri Begawan – The Postal Services Department has advised the public to redirect their mail once they move home. This was to ensure that mail through postmen arrive on time.

Awang Hamir bin Mohd Salleh the Assistant Postmaster General for Operation Section, when disclosing this to Radio Television Brunei (RTB) said that there have been public complaints concerning undelivered mails.

He said that cooperation from the public was important as postmen could not be entirely blamed if home addresses are not updated. Therefore the public who wish to redirect their mails could get application forms for redirection at any post office branches in the four districts.

Awang Hamir made the remarks at a ceremony to appoint a postal representative in Kampong Bolkiah 'A' in Kampong Ayer this morning.

Awang Rusbi bin Idris whose residence is at Number 42G, Jambatan 65, Jeti 3, in the Kampong was appointed as the Postal Services' representative as from yesterday.

Awang Rusbi, a part-time water taxi driver will receive a monthly allowance of $150.

The appointment of postal representatives was in line with the department's vision to be a business and information centre and to provide good facilities for the convenience of the customers.

The department is making an effort in providing better facilities to the public in rural areas especially in areas which were inaccessible by postmen.

Kampong Bolkiah 'A' is situated at Kampong Ayer and has a population of more than 1,000 with more than 225 homes.

Apart from delivering letters, the postal representatives also sell stamps and receive registered letters. Other services would be added, a department spokesman said. -- Courtesy of Radio  Television Brunei
