Therefore, when negative comments and feedback are posted online, businesses must respond as quickly as possible. Pos Malaysia Berhad has been receiving negative comments on social media and consumer platforms such as Aduan Rakyat and the Kementerian Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia. One of the most frequent complaints is about the inefficiency of their service counters. This paper investigates these complaints by observing one of its busiest branches, located in Wangsa Maju. Based on the data gathered, the waiting time at this branch exceeds 10 minutes, which is the preferred waiting time for customers. In fact, on the busiest day of the week, the queue is so long that the waiting time for each customer reaches up to one hour. The data was analyzed using the QM for Windows application, and the research suggests that Pos Malaysia's Wangsa Maju branch should repurpose one of its 'Kaunter Poslaju' into a 'Kaunter Pelbagai' to reduce waiting time.
