SINGAPORE : Postage rates for domestic mail and international airmail services will be revised from December 18.
Singapore Post on Friday said postage rates would be increased to 25 cents, from the current 23 cents, for domestic mail weighing 20 grammes or less.
International airmail postage rates will go up by between 5 and 40 cents.
Postage fees for registered mail will see an increase of 20 cents, from S$2 to S$2.20.
Singapore Post said local stamp rates were last revised 11 years ago, while international postage rates were last revised six years ago. - CNA/ms
^.. The above statement is untrue.. going by a search in the forums..
www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=72405 .. unless they say the previous increase not counted as it was raised due to GST.. which is more wrong.. because
1. The jump then was from 20 cents to 22 cents (and later 23cents).. a 10% increase vis a vis our then 3% and now 5% GST
2. They say increase from 23 cents to 25 cents.. meaning to say that they raised the price 11 years ago from an x amount to 23 cents.. which is of course
not possible.. -
