Postman Blues

The postman serving Tiara Damansara seems to be dropping mail belonging to other residents into the wrong postboxes. Just the other day, I handed the postman 3 letters which had been wrongly put into my box. A few days later, another belonging to a K16 resident was placed in my box.

A couple of days later, another resident mentioned in passing that she was going to the Tiara Management Office to hand in 3 letters which had been wrongly dropped into her box.

I rang the Jalan Sultan Post Office and spoke to a Postal employee, informing him to please notify the postman serving our condo to be more careful. Important and eagerly awaited letters could go astray, and for those waiting for their cheques, assessment or other bills, such missing letters can create a lot of problems. I was even fined once when a cheque I sent was lost in transit and later received a notification that since I had failed to pay the fine, a penalty had been added on!

We Tiarans should play our part and be neighbourly – if we get letters belonging to others in our mailboxes, please make the effort to drop the misdirected letters back into the letterboxes of their rightful owners, hand these back to the postman when he next comes on his rounds, or drop them off at the Management Office, whichever is most convenient.
