Grouses over traffic jams, parking fees

GEORGE TOWN: A newly formed non-governmental organisation (NGO) has revealed that a growing number of residents here are unhappy over the weekend parking fees imposed by the Penang Municipal Council and the overall worsening traffic congestion.

1Malaysia Brothers chairman Khoo Boon Eam (pic) said the ratepayers were unhappy that the council continued to impose parking charges until midnight on Sundays, whereas there had been promises in the past to introduce free parking on weekends.
