On Tuesday, 23 November, Aliran sent 20 bundles of the latest issue of the Aliran Monthly by registered post to Sabah/Sarawak. It cost us a bomb. We paid RM666 in postage.

Today is Saturday, 27 November and our registered bundles have not been delivered to the addressees. Why?

Our latest Aliran Monthly focuses on the 10^th General Elections. Tomorrow is Sunday and Monday is a public holiday. If the magazines reach Sabah and Sarawak after Monday, they become dated and will be irrelevant to the reading public.

Aliran will suffer a huge loss because the postal services are very inefficient.

We have observed that in the past when there were elections, the delivery of our Aliran Monthly had been delayed. Again now, there are elections and we suppose that it is a coincidence that the delivery of the Aliran Monthly is again delayed.
