SINGAPORE — A SingPost postman who allegedly discarded mail into a dustbin at Ang Mo Kio without delivering them has been arrested.

This is why you will NEVER receive your mails and parcel from Singapore Post.
Postman actually threw the letters and parcel into the bins. This is not the first time we’ve found this in Ang Mo Kio.
LTA/CHAS government letters - unopened are all being dumped.
