The Kuala Lumpur traffic investigation and enforcement department (JSPT Kuala Lumpur) has held an operation in the capital, targeting vehicles which have been illegally parked and causing traffic congestion as a result, the department posted on its Facebook page.
According to the department, the most often encountered excuse for the obstruction from the vehicles’ drivers were that they were “only parking for five minutes.”
The operation was led by JSPT Kuala Lumpur staff member DSP Mohd Fadzil Bin Mohd Yatim, who said that the vehicles targeted were not only those which were parked on road shoulders, but also those which have been parked on restricted paths and those obstructing traffic. These have been focused on Jalan Raja Laut, Jalan Changkat, Jalan Alor and around the Bukit Bintang area, according to JSPT Kuala Lumpur.
The operation was held following complaints from the public about traffic congestion in these areas, which have been said to have arisen from drivers who park their vehicles indiscriminately, said JSPT Kuala Lumpur chief ACP Sarifudin Bin Mohd Salleh.
Among the offences recorded were the stopping of vehicles for too long, leading to obstructions and traffic congestion, as well as instances of driver parking their vehicles on roads with yellow lines. Sarifudin said that people need to understand that these roads are congested, and if they insist on parking their vehicles in these areas, the congestion will worsen.
The Kuala Lumpur traffic investigation and enforcement department hopes that the operations held will help to discipline road users in the capital.

Glad to know that the Traffic cops are coming hard on illegal and indiscriminate parking. What I wish that they do is to nab the motor cyclist who discriminately beat the red light. Many of them. Mainly food deliverers. Cars too have started doing the same. I am sure our enforcement authorities can handle this. Thanks.
Our PDRM is currently working togehter with ATM in developing a small guided air to air missile which will be fired automatically whenever a rider or driver jumped/beat traffic light. Vehicle within the exception list (PDRM, ambulance, etc) will be equipped with friend or foe identification system thus missile wont fire.
Dont worry, the missile wont be equipped with high explosive head but a permanent paint or liquid that have permanent colour plus ‘nice’ smell. Detonation is based on proximity with target and after certain distance from the traffic light.
At the same time there are rumours that a group of errant driver and rider is working together developing a compact flare system to be installed on their vehicle.
Habeslah Anwar dah potong elaun PDRM, now PDRM has to mintak sedekah from rakyat! Ini semua salah Anwar! Down with this Liz Truss like PM!
Should change law so that those who illegal park will have their vehicle confiscated
Confiscate too hard,lah,,bradder.Just tow away..lock in DBKL yard for 14 days.
His daging ,durian,eggs in his boot will rot.
By the time he takes his car back…his boot will smell stronger than musang king.
haha…
go Mont Kiara, Desa hartamas, bangsar… your team can summon or tow the cars every 15 mins, same spot!!
go at night!! see how those ppl park and ignore others.
Crackdown on the illegal jockeys in jalan alor as well. Those people park there to go to the pubs and bars.. paying exorbitant parking fees to the car park jockeys.
Will JSPT please look into the illegal parking at Jalan Pasar, Pudu, Kuala Lumpur everyday. Nobody seemed to care. DBKL is also keeping a blind eye.
Here everybody care. Only outsider who not use to this area complaint. People who park knows and aware and they knows how to give way. Of course park at junction is wrong and can be tow.
Jalan Pasar, Pudu, Kuala Lumpur is a nightmare. Hope the police will have an operation there.
Hope is not one time operation only, come on weekend then u know how congested the road was.
Whats the point when no enforcement on the offenders who were issued summons and they are allowed to wait for the mega 80% discounts for settlement?
Jalan ampang in front of wisma centre and MCA building…kindly take stern action.
List of choices to park your car in KL:
A. Pay RM30 per parking space in private lots.
(Triple this if you park near a club)
B. Round the area 20 times, eventually give up and go home.
C. Just park wherever like everybody else and pay the fine.
I sincerely hope this isn’t just for PR then back to the status quo the next day. Maintain, if not, increase enforcement. Ensure PDRM saman has valid consequences if unpaid. Incorporate tow trucks as well. I’m sure these companies wouldn’t mind the additional revenue from those wanting to claim their towed/compounded vehicle.
Enforcement in Malaysia needs to be consistent so that people do not always assume that authorities are never around.
Enforcement should be done continuously, not just because of public complaints. Enforcement officers are being paid every month but what do they do? Let it not be a waste of public expenses
operasi in Putrajaya please!!! thank you
Not only KL, come over Damansara Uptown, lots of arseholes double park like they own the spot
Especially taxi park at the Pavilion Bukit Bintang entrance.
Here everybody care. Only outsider who not use to this area complaint. People who park knows and aware and they knows how to give way. Of course park at junction is wrong and can be tow.
One word about parking in Kuala Lumpur is like Kampung. Build house but did not think of parking or road. That’s why old building once demolish for rebuild has to minus 10 feet’s. Take e-hailing if you knows the place is pack.
Buat pangsapuri/ kondo cantik2 tapi tempat letak kereta tak banyak. Lepas tu ramai kena park tepi jalan.
Hope PDRM will also put a stop to all vehicle with modified exhaust pipe & illegal parking by commercial vehicle in residential housing garden. Good job well done.
Taman Sri Kuching,jalan Ipoh,jalan raja CHULAN,jalan tengah please
