Illegal ‘booking’ of parking spots


DBKL officers directing some of the shop owners to remove the obstructions placed on the parking bays.

BUSINESS owners operating along Jalan Sepadu in Taman United, off Jalan Kelang Lama, Kuala Lumpur, who have been hijacking public parking bays in front of their shops for many years, got a shock recently when Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL)’s Seputeh branch conducted a surprise operation.

The shop owners who would place old broken motorcycles, bicycles, cones, plastic tubs and rubbish bins to illegally reserve the bays for the entire day, were spotted hurriedly removing the obstructions as soon as they saw the DBKL vehicles approaching.
