DESPITE a dearth of parking spaces in People’s Housing Projects (PPR) and Public Housing schemes (PA) all over Kuala Lumpur, there are few takers at new multi-storey carparks built to overcome the shortage.

Residents of these low-cost housing schemes still prefer to double- and triple-park their vehicles than utilise parking bays at the carparks built by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).
