OWNERS of factories operating along Jalan Metro Perdana 12 and Sri Edaran Industrial Park in Kepong are unhappy over a recent move by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to impose parking fees in the area.

After 30 years of free parking, they argue that the decision is unjustified, pointing out that they already pay a significant amount in assessment taxes to the local authority.
