The community is seeking DBKL’s intervention to resolve the long-standing issue as they are fed up with having to constantly look for parking.“Devotees at the Buddhist Maha Vihara Temple in Jalan Berhala have to struggle to find parking every day,” said temple secretary Tilak Leslie Jayawardena.
“We have been waiting for it for a while now since people who are working in the offices are occupying the parking bays for many hours, depriving others of parking,” said Tong Soon Mansion resident G.S Maniam.He claimed that people who were working in the offices around the Kuala Lumpur Sentral area were taking up precious parking space in the area.“Street parking bays should not be booked for long hours as it is unfair to residents living here,” he said.
Brickfields Rukun Tetangga chairman SKK Naidu agreed with residents’ call for a two-hour parking limit to be implemented.“It does not help when DBKL parking facilities like the Tempat Letak Kereta in Brickfields are open to season parking users and there is hardly any space for the public,” he said.
“These cars have expired road tax. Service vehicles and food trucks are also occupying the parking bays for long hours,” said business owner John Sim.
