A SingPost postman has admitted on video that he threw away bundles of mail and flyers that were supposed to be distributed to residences and offices.

The original series of videos were put up on Feb. 8 but has since been taken down.

However, a montage of the videos have been circulating online.

Rubbish bin filled with letters

The first half of the video shows the confrontation in Mandarin.

The second half of the video shows the man who discovered bundles of letters thrown into the rubbish bin having his complaint officially lodged with photographic evidence.

The man confronting the SingPost postman in Mandarin appears to have paid for flyers to be distributed in the area, but have not seen them distributed.

Here is a collage of the videos showing a man confronting the postman:

Disturbing allegations

In the video, the postman made a few disturbing allegations in Mandarin.

He said he has been overworked without overtime pay and is bullied into doing more mail delivery.

He even hinted that he was working even though his leg hurt.

The conversation in the first half of the video has been translated into English:

Man: Now you call your boss.

Postman: I don't have his number.

Man: We forever can't find your management?

Postman: Can be found, can be found.

Man: Someone has to bear the blame. Please cooperate and be more honest. If you lied, just admit it. If you are meant to distribute the mail, but you put it somewhere else, just admit it. If you don't admit, I will find all the mail one by one. Now the whole of SingPost knows my problem. I won't let this matter go to rest like this. I want to find my paper, where exactly it is. To you, it is just a piece of paper. To me it is very important. You come to Singapore to work, we welcome you. But don't bring the standards down to such a terrible point. Because of one person, SingPost suffers in reputation. Do you understand?

Postman: Even if I told you, you might not believe me. But I come from China, and I speak reasonably, it is not that I am not responsible. I have over 2,600 over mail. You take a look at the condominium and offices, Malay staff are few, so it is unfair to me. I am rushing to see the doctor today because my leg is hurting.

Man: So you threw this lot of undistributed mail away?

Postman: It is only for this block. But the rest of it I've distributed.

Man: Are you the victim? Or the customer? So others bully you, you bully others?

Postman: I have already got 2,600 mail and I have to work overtime. It is very unfair for me. And I don't get paid for overtime. So, it is really unfair for me. And I am very tired.

Man: If your employer is unfair to you, it is his fault. Am I unfair to you?

Postman: No, you are right.

Man: The job should have been completed on the 5th. Today is already the 7th. I'm giving you two extra days of time. I'm going to ask you to open all the letter boxes to inspect for my flyer, I did not see a single copy. If I ask you to open the letter boxes at block 27, 29, 31, is there any?

Postman: No, I didn't give those out. I know.

Man: Definitely there isn't. Do you know how much I spent on the flyers? A few thousand dollars. I pity you. You got bullied by others but you didn't have to take it out on me.

Postman: I really didn't know I was meant to distribute the flyers in this block. If I knew, I would have done it. I'm sorry, boss. I really didn't know this block was included. They were bad to me, yes they were. You can bring this matter up. But I will be leaving on Friday on my flight and I won't be coming back. If this matter didn't crop up, I might come back. So that's it.

Postman: See if there are any more flyers and I will distribute them.

Man: I printed 7,150 flyers in total. There is 1,200 assigned to this area. There is no reason it is not enough. I was told by SingPost to print 7,150 flyers. Now you go back, what can you do?

Postman: If I cannot do it, there is no choice, I will give you my number.
