Betul, SingPost aslinya Kantor Pos Singapore. Tapi sudah "privatized" dan bekerja berdasarkan "license" untuk pelayanan pos di Singapore (Wikipedia ==> Singapore Post)
Salah satu produk yang saya pakai namanya VPost (Virtual Post). Jadi saya bisa belanja on-line, minta dikirim ke satu alamat di Portland, Amerika. Nanti mereka akan kirim barengan supaya biaya bisa murah. Sesampai di Singapore, mereka pakai "PopStation," semacam locker yang bisa dibuka dengan password.
Sebelum ada fasilitas ini, saya harus ambil sendiri ke kantor pos pada jam kerja. Tapi sekarang tinggal datang kapan saja untuk menerima kiriman saya. Kalau di Jakarta, mungkin masih lebih murah buka 24 jam untuk nasabah bisa ambil sendiri kiriman paket. Bisa pakai tenaga part-timer seperti mahasiswa untuk shift malam. Lumayan, dapat uang saku tambahan kan?

Apakah SingPost ini semacam Kantor Pos seperti di Indonesia?
Jika ya, akan sangat menarik bagaimana perusahaan ini bisa mentransformasikan dirinya menyesuaikan perkembangan jaman menjadi perusahaan yang bergerak dalam bidang e-commerce dan maju sebagai pemain regional.

SingPost to develop fully integrated eCommerce Logistics Hub in Singapore, the first such modern facility in the region
Pre-positioning Singapore as the region’s leading ecommerce hub
S$182M investment to cater to expanding ecommerce logistics business and address rapid ecommerce market growth
553,000 square ft hub comprises 3-storey integrated centre with fully automated parcel sorting facility, 2 warehousing floors, 150 simultaneous loading bays and an office block
Singapore, 14 October 2014 – In line with its vision to be the regional leader in ecommerce logistics and trusted communications, SingPost will be developing a fully integrated regional eCommerce Logistics Hub to cater to its expanding ecommerce logistics business and the fast-growing ecommerce market.
The 3-storey SingPost eCommerce Logistics Hub in Tampines LogisPark will be the first of its kind in Southeast Asia, equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Housing a fully-automated parcel sorting facility on the ground floor, with two modern warehousing floors above, it will serve Southeast Asia and be the connecting point to the rest of Asia. The development will also comprise an adjoining 8-storey office block to house SingPost’s local and regional logistics operations i.e. Quantium Solutions, Singapore Parcel and Lock+Store. The Hub and adjacent office building will be built on a 3.25-hectare plot of land leased from JTC Corporation for 30 years.
Construction of the 553,000 square ft eCommerce Logistics Hub (comprising the integrated centre and office block) is expected to be completed by end January 2016 and fully operational in the second half of 2016.
The estimated development cost for the SingPost eCommerce Logistics Hub is S$182 million and includes lease of the land, construction costs and cost of equipment. The development will be funded internally, from the Group’s cash holdings.
Dr Wolfgang Baier, Group Chief Executive Officer of SingPost said: “Given its strategic location and pro-business environment, Singapore is an ideal location for the development of our premier regional eCommerce Logistics Hub. I expect our new facility will, in turn, further boost Singapore’s aspiration to be the region’s ecommerce hub. This Hub is also an integral part of SingPost Group’s strategy as we expand our ecommerce logistics business and capitalize on the fast-growing ecommerce market here in Singapore and the region. With this critical infrastructure in place, it will radically transform our full range of ecommerce logistics capabilities, across warehousing, fulfillment, sorting and delivery. It will also enable SingPost to offer very cost-efficient fully integrated efulfilment solutions to our customers in a scalable manner.”
The ecommerce market in Asia Pacific is going through exponential growth, with B2C sales expected to hit US$708 billion in 2016 or a 41% increase from 2014’s US$502 billion, driven mainly by the rise of the middle income group as well as mobile and internet penetration[1]. In tandem, the ecommerce logistics market in Asia Pacific is estimated to grow to more than US$175.24 billion by 2016[2].
Mr Lee Eng Keat, Director of Logistics, Singapore Economic Development Board said: “We continuously endeavour to strengthen Singapore’s position as a strategic location to access the growth opportunities in Asia. The establishment of SingPost’s regional e-fulfillment hub will help pre-position Singapore as the leading regional hub for brands and retailers looking to use e-commerce to access the growing markets in the region. Moreover, SingPost’s investments in automatic parcel sorting systems and warehousing solutions are in line with our efforts to enhance productivity.”
Added Dr Baier: “As part of our growth strategy, we have been strengthening our logistics network in the region and also investing in ecommerce logistics infrastructure, technology and capabilities. As we expand our local market presence in Asian countries with local warehousing and local delivery, we need an efficient regional hub. There is no better place for such a hub
