Introduction 

Courier Services in Malaysia started in early 1970s with foreign courier companies DHL and OCS. This may be attributed to the arrival of more foreign investors. The Japanese company, OCS, started by mainly servicing the Japanese firms such as Matsushita and Toshiba and the expatriate community.

It was only in 1979 that the first Malaysian courier company, City-Link Express, started operating. This was followed by other local companies such as ABX Express (1984), Nationwide Express (1985), Skynet (1987), Securexpress (1987), POSLaju (1988) and GD Express (1997). As of 2008, the number of licensed courier companies operating in Malaysia total 114 (Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission 1H-2008 report).
