Post Laju: 'Fast Post' Or Snail Delivery?


Seremban is only a 40 minutes' or so drive from Kuala Lumpur.

I guess a tortoise should be able to cover the distance in three days.

A snail maybe in double the time.

But it took Pos Laju 7 days to deliver a document by courier to the recipient in Seremban!

Well, I guess that was not so bad by a snail's standard.

Or a tortoise's.

However, if you tout yourself as a reliable and fast courier, you wouldn't want to be compared to a tortoise.

Or worse still, to a snail.

The said document was handed over to Pos Laju on the 2nd of this month and they only managed to deliver it on the 8th - and that too, after we had bugged them to look into the matter!

Not so bad maybe if you consider that you are at least as swift as a snail and only worse than a tortoise.

In Bolehland, we can't complain much.

You take it or you leave it.

Except that taking or leaving it makes no difference - you are still screwed!

Kluang was a sleepy hollow, but is fast becoming a bustling town. You can't miss the bust-shaped gunung Lambak lording over the place and the town is well known for its tv brand coffee powder

The Kluang railway station coffee shop, now re-branded Kluang RailCoffee, is well known for its cuppa of coffee and the charcaol grilled piping hot buns oozing with butter and kaya...It used to attract standing-room only crowds. It still does, but the last time I was there it wasn't a good experience for me. The famous coffee had somewhat lost its oomph and even the buns...The shop has a long and noted history being first opened for business in 1938 and the place is now run by the 3rd generation LIm family. I hope the next time I return, the coffee would regain its oomph. Click to read more...
