SHOP owners and business
operators at Api-Api center are feeling the pinch over the high parking fee
imposed by the management. Special Assistant to KK MP Hiew King Cheu Andrew Lee
Chee Kiong managed to meet a number of business operators who are very disappointed
over this issue.
He was told that business
operators tried meeting up with the management to discuss on how this issue of
high parking fees can be reduce, however the management refuse to cooperate.
The fee is ridiculously high and it's blood sucking. Business in the area
dropped by at least 20% ever since the high parking fee was imposed.
He was made to understand
that Api-Api Center parking lots were previously managed by (DBKK). Parking
fees then was reasonable and everyone could afford it.
Why and how the drastic
increase was approved by the relevant authorities? What went wrong that DBKK
could not manage these parking lots that lead to a transfer of management?
Andrew Lee also detected
that parking fees in the open space are more expensive compared to the covered
car park. RM 2 for the first hour and RM 1 for every subsequent hour. If a
vehicle owner parks at this lots and works at Api-Api Center, he or she will be
paying at least RM10 per day and RM200 per month.
Most people would say it's
just too much to handle. This is going out of hand. This leads to illegal or
double parking if one is trying to avoid paying high parking fees.
To Andrew understanding,
Api-api parking fees are one of the highest in Malaysia. How can that be? It
just doesn't make sense. Parking fees in Selangor is far much cheaper than the
one at Api-api Center.
The price now is three to
four times higher than the previous fees. This is unacceptable and the
management of Api-api Parking lots should be more sensitive towards the public
and not to be too money driven.
Sabah DAP urge DBKK and the
Api-api parking management to reconsider imposing high parking fees and to take
up certain measures to lower the fees by at least 50%.
In another related matter,
Andrew Lee had also inspected the basement car park at Api-Api Center and found
that the car park is not well lighted.
It’s rather dark at most corners and this will be dangerous especially
for ladies.
They will be targeted by
inconsiderate and irresponsible selfish individuals. Andrew urges the
management of the Api Api car park to brighten up the area for every ones
safety. (DAP Media)
Hope that Api-Api management will review their parking fees as the overcharge are unreasonable.

DBKK and Api-Api parking management should ensure that the charges are not too burdensome to the consumers. Especially for those who are working in that area everyday.

kadar parking yang dikenakan jgnlah terlalu tinggi.. kenalah berpatutan.
ReplyDeleteCaj parking sudahlah mahal, mahu cari parking pun susah.
ReplyDeletekadar yang membebankan rakyat berpendapatan rendah...
ReplyDeleteBetul tu. Kalau yang dah berduit pun bising, inikan lagi yang pendapatannya tak seberapa. huhu
DeleteSelesaikan hal ni secepatnya sebelum ia jadi bahan untuk dipolitikan pula.
DeleteMemang pun mahal sampai kadangkala sa sanggup lagi naik public transport.
ReplyDeleteba,baguslah tu naik kenderaan awam. kalau tempat boleh sampai dengan berjalan kaki saja, tidak rugi juga ringan2kan kaki tu.
DeleteTak cukup dengan itu cari parking pun susah sempat lagi krim kaki:P hehhee
ReplyDeleteHarap management api-api akan pertimbangkan hal ni. Susah juga kalau berterusan. huhu
ReplyDeleteNot only in Api-Api centre but other places too .
ReplyDeleteGovernment should make sure the parking not over charge that may burden the people.
DeleteI hope DBKK and the Api-api parking management would reconsider imposing high parking fees and to take up certain measures to lower the fees by at least 50%.
ReplyDeleteThe overcharged parking fees is a burden to the people. Its fees need to be reconsidered.
ReplyDeletePihak berkuasa harus menentukan harga parking yang berpatutan.
ReplyDeleteKadar parking tidak harus membebankan rakyat.
ReplyDeleteKadar parking memang membebankan.
DeleteAdjust the right parking fee.
ReplyDeleteTempat parking juga semakin berkurangan dengan pertambahan jumlah kenderaan di negeri Sabah.
ReplyDeleteUntung siapa yang menguruskan parking di Api-api. Kerana bayaran parking yang tidak sepatutnya.
ReplyDeleteboleh kenakan tindakan juga tu kalau kenakan bayaran parking secara tidak berpatutan.
ReplyDeleteKasi murah la ba tu parking fee..
ReplyDeleteselagi ada pemilik kenderaan yang meletakkan kenderaan mereka di kawasan itu, selagi itu pihak pengurusan api-api beranggapan charge yang mereka kenakan berpatutan..
ReplyDeletekalau tempat yang berlindung itu lebih murah, kenapa tidak guna di tempat yang terlindung saja?? kalau yang bekerja di api2, kenapa perlu letak di luar di bawah panas terik??? mungkin juga tujuan pihak pengurusan api2 ini adalah untuk mengurangkan kesesakan di sekitar api2..
