Extra charge for using Touch&Go


I USE Touch&Go for parking in most of the shopping centres in Kuala Lumpur. By using Touch &Go, I do not need to take a ticket.

My intention is to adopt environment-friendly practices whenever possible by not using paper (tickets) and ink (printing).

Unfortunately, whenever I use Touch&Go for parking, I have to pay 10% extra for every transaction and an additional 6% GST.

Since customers using Touch&Go do not need to get

parking tickets, it reduces the cost for car park operators to produce the tickets. In fact, the operators should give a discount to those using Touch&Go because of this.

Why are we being slapped with the extra 10% despite depositing money in the card?

This is not a credit card but a debit card and we must have sufficient money in it if we want to use the service.

Will the authority concerned look into this matter and resolve the situation, please?
