think that it's for employees of SWR or some sort of exchange of letters/envelopes to and from UBL -SWR HQ.

See the attached pic. I saw it for the first time. A 'suggestion and complaint box' slot on the side of SLR. Then I saw the same on MYS-TLGP train too. Pretty common I guess, but I noticed for the first time. Wonder if officials really read the suggestions and complaints :)
