The history of the Post Office goes back to 1895 when the Borneo Company established the first Post Office in Brunei.
With the signing of the Treaty of Friendship, the British Resident in Brunei built the first Government Post Office in 1906. In 1984, the Postal Services Department then came under the purview of the Ministry of Communications.
In recent times, the rapid growth of electronic communications has placed a challenge on Brunei's Postal Service to provide better, more efficient and reliable services for the nation.
Its future plans therefore include introducing new products and services to provide better customer satisfaction; adopting state of the art management techniques and technologies; entering into alliance with strategic partners and eventually becoming an independent entity.
