Get Ready To Pay RM3,500 If Your Vehicle Gets Towed By MBSA

The Shah Alam City Counsil (MBSA) has announced that it will impose a RM3,500 fine for any vehicle towed for parking illegally at Shah Alam residential areas.

The decision to impose the hefty fine was made following complaints from residents regarding vehicles parked in an unorderly manner, which in turn were obstructing the way.

Heavy vehicles such as busses and lorries were often found parked on road kerbs, dividers, fields, parks and other open spaces.

Mayor Datuk Ahmad Zaharin Mohd Saad told The Star that “some park at the main junctions of busy roads and cause traffic congestion.”

Ahmad Zaharin added that most of these vehicles were also parked overnight and it has become quite an eyesore for residents.

Besides the RM3,500 fine, vehicle owners would also have to pay a RM50 storage fee for each day the vehicle is not collected from the council’s depot.
