A postman is paying the price for having made an illegal collection.

The police arrested the 22-year-old man and two others for having solicited for funds over the social media since May 17 for a ‘fellow postman’ because postmen did not get any bonus from their employer.

Seberang Perai Tengah District police chief ACP Shafee Abd Samad said the trio - two men and a woman - were picked up separately between Wednesday and last night.
