THE SELANGOR government has been urged to do a comprehensive investigation into the cyberattack on the Selangor Intelligent Parking service, says Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung.
He said authorities owe the people an explanation on the cause of the breach, the scope of data exposure, financial implications and corrective actions being taken.
Lee said if such transparency is not forthcoming, state representatives should request for the Selangor Select Committee on Competency, Accountability and Transparency conduct a public hearing into the matter.
He said another issue was the possibility that citizens' personal data had been compromised.
Lee also said he had previously raised concerns about the privatisation of public digital infrastructure.
He said in July 2025, he had called for the immediate suspension of the Selangor Intelligent Parking (SIP) system and urged a comprehensive review of its policy direction and implementation framework.
Under the SIP model, half of the parking revenue collected is channelled to the private concessionaire.
Lee also said Selangor's adoption of SIP was moving in the opposite direction of the government's efforts to build long-term public-sector digital capability and resilience.
"The Federal Government established GovTech to strengthen in-house digital capabilities, reduce dependence on external vendors and break down data silos across government agencies.
"Yet Selangor continues to pursue the SIP model through partnerships with private operators held responsible for managing, deploying and operating core parking systems.
"When citizens are required to entrust their personal information and daily transactions to government-linked digital systems, the government has a duty to ensure that such trust is never taken for granted," he said in a Facebook post on Friday (July 3).
