KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - A Malaysian postman kept 21,000 letters undelivered for up to four years in a room of his house, newspapers said Thursday. Police were now searching for the missing man.
The former employee of Pos Malaysia Bhd, fired in March, left mail such as telephone bills, bank statements and magazines in a room of a house in which he once lived in a Kuala Lumpur suburb. Some of the letters were four years old.
"Most of our postmen are dedicated and loyal but there are a few who spoil our reputation," Ikmal Hijaz Hashim, head of state-controlled Pos Malaysia, was quoted by the Star newspaper as saying.
Earlier this year, Michael Glenn Bowes, a former postman for Britain's Royal Mail, was found to have kept 3,148 letters and parcels in his home undelivered.
