Nov 3 – Pos Malaysia Bhd would like to remind the public to be wary of counterfeit Poslaju prepaid envelopes as the company has detected illegal sale and distribution of forged prepaid envelopes in the market.

The statement stresses that usage of counterfeit products will risk their items not being accepted for delivery and could also face legal consequences. Poslaju is taking this matter seriously and would like to remind public to purchase original Poslaju prepaid envelopes from Poslaju authorized agents, post office and Poslaju centers.

He then added “Pos Malaysia has also requested the assistance of Polis Di Raja Malaysia (PDRM) and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to help identify, nab the culprits and bring an end to this illegal activity which has had a huge impact on the company’s business.”
