KUALA LUMPUR - The Communications and Digital Ministry is assessing the need to amend the Postal Services Act 2012.

Its minister Fahmi Fadzil said the act was one of several laws that needed to be amended, in accordance with the current development of the postal service sector.

"We are looking into amending the Postal Services Act which was last amended in 2012, as there have been significant changes not only in postal services but also in supply chains and logistics.

"Therefore, a thorough examination is needed to ensure that the existing regulations are in line with the realities faced by the industry," he said at the World Post Day press conference here today.

The Postal Services Act 2012 was created to provide for the licensing of postal services and the regulation of the postal service industry and other related matters.

He said the ministry was still in the midst of studying suitable amendments.
