Taking a dim view of electric scooters (e-scooters) parked indiscriminately, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) is taking action. Seen in this photograph by Jason Chen, a DBKL lorry is seen hauling away e-scooters in the Setapak area.
Micromobility devices such as Beam e-scooters are popular in urban areas, especially the Kuala Lumpur city centre. Tourists rent them to get around while many are also placed near LRT stations for commuters to expedite the “last mile” connection.
However, despite some public places having designated “parking” areas where e-scooters can be picked up or left behind, many users just leave them where they are at their convenience. This creates a nuisance especially in areas of high pedestrian traffic.
Police have also stated e-scooters and other such battery-powered micro mobility devices are banned from use on public roads. So, mind how you go when using an e-scooter and be aware of traffic, both vehicles and pedestrians.

Daylight robbery
If people cannot be bothered to park their PMD properly that means they don’t care about it and don’t mind if DBKL junk them. So people who got their PMD impounded, they have no one else but themselves to blame.
User mentality issue here. Same like how they will park their cars anywhere they wish
Bet this Beam company don’t have VIP on their payroll. Otherwise the authority will be very lenient usually.
they need to employ some high ranking ex-SPAD officer as government relations. that will smoothen out these issues.
Yup.

Why
Why we don’t tow cars that are indiscriminately Parked. Why pick on micromobility
They are lighter lol Easy lah !
Abandoned cars n motorcycles everywhere.
The JPJ and Municipal Authority DBKL are on their way to become dictator. This is power overreach. Shame on them
Bila x enforce laws, kata dorang xkeje.
Bila enforce laws, kata dorang dictator.
Piraahhhlahhhh bodo!
Bkn masalah enforce atau x enforce.
Masalahnya kalo enforce tu pilih bulu. X percaya, meh PM, satu persatu blh dihuraikan.
Yg tahu je tahu mcm mne deal dgn majlis2 nih. Hehehe… Phm ke idok?
Better i steal and bring my house. Pay and play safety. Make a headache.Thank You DBKL.
Just impose heavy fine to the last person who use that thing
Government fining the user or the scooter hire company fining the user makes more sense but they would need proof.
I have used beam e scooter before. The GPS tracker never let to park at designated parking area after complete the ride.and the Beam management over charge forit . This happen couple of time for me the worst case is when you report to beam no action taken. NOW I WOULD SAY PARK AT YOUR CONVIENCE PLACE FOR THE SERVICE YOU GET.
OMG! They have stollen Milka bars…
can the authorities auction off the e-scooters to the public and let the public own them affordably?
Here is the difference that majority need to realize, that is this is RENTER , renter mindset was “I just go anywhere, stopped and parked wherever I like without give a damn”, which is why majority of you pissed off about this. OWNER of their own PMD won’t do this kind of silly thing at all. RENTER and OWNER are the huge difference , you can’t simply blame all of it. Furthermore, even if you banned from road, there is no dedicated path for it except the blue bicycle lane, but the biggest problem here is NOBODY GIVES A DAMN ON THAT BLUE LANE AND CARS PARKING ON IT !
Selective discrimination… thousands of abandoned cars along residential areas and high density areas…creating a nuinsance and mosquito and rat breeding locations… this is not addressed by the lazy authrities
