Pos Malaysia : Naughty or Nice ?

It is frustrating trying to be a Santa!
Last month, we decided to send Christmas pressies to my parents,aunts,uncles and cousins back home in Malaysia. Just small gifts as a thoughtful gesture. No iPods or fancy techy gadgets, but just Xmas pins, cookies, pecan nuts, cutesy ornaments,napkins and flirty boxer shorts. We figured those would be safe enough to send via normal mail postage instead of paying 3 times more via courier.
But to our dismay, many of those packages did not reach the recipients. Those that were fortunate to receive their package had the gift wraps torn apart with missing gift tags. Even the greeting card was not left unmolested!
So, the first thing that came to my mind was.... "those bloody *%&holes!!". But who are these *%&holes? The guys loading packages onto the airplane? or the guys unloading packages off from the airplane? or the Custom officers? or the guys sorting mails and packages in the mailroom? or the mail delivery guy? Who did it??.. WHO did it??... WHO DID IT???!!
Will the relevant authorities take action against these unscrupulous thieves? Will this nonsense continue to prevail as long as we condone to it and let it go as yet another ugly side of the Malaysian people?. .. So is this what the "Malaysia Boleh" attitude is like?
To Whoever it is that stole our gifts.. May you choke on the pecan nuts and may the boxer shorts catch fire!!!
