Freeze on new courier licences for two years


This move is in line with the call made last August by the Association of Express Shipping Companies Malaysia (Amec), which comprises 25 major courier companies in Malaysia. Amec members include Pos Malaysia Bhd, GD Express Sdn Bhd, City-Link Express (M) Sdn Bhd, among others.

PETALING JAYA: In a move to strengthen the local postal and courier industry that is rife with challenges, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) will not issue any new courier licences for two years.

Additionally, a new action plan will be drafted by the National Postal and Courier Laboratory Laboratory (NPCIL) to propose measures to support the strategic development of the new postal and courier industry.
