To address the constant problem of lost mail, residents came up with the idea of installing community mailboxes at different zones around the village.
Kampung Bukit Lanjan Residents Association chairman Abdul Halim Halid, 55, recalled the time back in the 1970s when he had to check with the area’s sundry shop to see if his offer letter from Institut Teknologi Mara had arrived.“Back then, the sundry store had a plastic basket.
“Instead of one single container to hold everyone’s mail, we decided that individual letterboxes would be more ideal for privacy as well as security,” said,” said Abdul Halim. “So, we went to Pos Malaysia’s headquarters for advice on how to reorganise residents’ addresses so that letters would be delivered to these mailboxes instead of individual homes,” he said.
To build these mailboxes, the villagers organised a gotong-royong to instal shelters using recycled wood over a set of new mailboxes, which was made possible with a grant from then Segambut MP Datuk Dr Tan Kee Kwong in 2008.
