Letter sent on Government Service

I receive letter sent "On Government Service" without any postage. Does this mean that Singapore Post, which is now a privatised body, is delivering the letters free, or does it charge the Government for the mail delivered at a bulk special rate?

Should be bulk tender. Nowadays only ministries use them. 20 years ago, stat boards could still indent them from govt supply, but no longer. These are restricted items obviously, but many staff (at least in the old days) sometimes use these "on govt service" envelopes for personal purposes. E.g. One of my former colleagues use them to send greeting cards.

I doubt if SingPost can afford to offer national service. Their revenue from postal services have been going down the drain since 2000.
