DBKL resumes clamping of vehicles in critical areas

DBKL resumes clamping of vehicles in critical areas

It took only a few days, but Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has announced it will resume the clamping of vehicles that break traffic rules relating to parking.

In a report by The Star, KL mayor Tan Sri Mohd Amin Nordin Abd Aziz revealed there was a need for strict enforcement in critical areas in the city, as people were infringing on traffic rules. “DBKL enforcement officers will decide on the critical areas, and clamping in those areas will resume tomorrow,” he said.

On May 28, the city council said it would temporarily cease clamping operations as several Kuala Lumpur MPs wanted the parking contract awarded to Yayasan Wilayah Persekutuan (YWP) reviewed.

This is because the awarding of YWP’s contract was not based on the local authority not calling for an open tender. However, cancelling YWP’s contract will require DBKL to review the contract in terms of compensation, which is said to be almost RM100 million.

    Clamp suppliers for DBKL must be earning a lot as DBKL needs to buy a lot of clamps to be effective. Look at the amount of cars simply park and breaking the rules. it is a lucrative business.

    If clamping will bring back law & order, just do it. Am sure most Rakyat prefer an orderly parking space for law abiding citizens.
    The clamping & fines should be done/collected by DBKL & not by 3rd party :P.

  • Please, by all means, continue with the clamping but ensure that every single cent collected goes to the government coffers to bail out the country’s debt.

    Simple. Follow the law and do not give them oppurtunity to receive fine and they will go bankrupt. Or maybe they will recieve compensation when target not reached?

    Don’t clamp, just TOW AWAY those vehicles from Hell. So much of ‘Ubah’ mentality, but in reality, still lots of Pokai HamKaChan motorists that simply park like it’s their grandfather’s road (why i use Pokai is because those HKC that simply park can’t afford to pay for proper parking spot, be it clunkers or flashy cars – all same).

    There should be a new system in place. Instead of clamping,impose a jail term of one day.
