A proposal to raise postage rates was discussed at a question-and-answer session at the committee’s meeting yesterday, when committee members were briefed about the postal company’s budget plan for fiscal 2017. The postal company continues to issue stamps with face values of NT$2.50 or NT$3.50, DPP Legislator Cheng Yun-peng (鄭運鵬) said. Cheng suggested that the postal company round the postage rates for private mail. He asked when the company would raise postage rates to stop the losses. Chunghwa Post chairman Philip Ong (翁文祺) said that management has studied the issues related to postage rates, and the firm has hired independent accountants to assess the rates.
