Penang Watch

1) Many of my friends and I have encountered INCOMPLETE parking receipts being issed to us when we pay the parking fee. Road tax disc number and car number plate are not being written down onto the parking receipt. Some parking attendants refused to issue parking receipts. When we request them to do so, they will give show us a very long face and grumbled.
2) Parking in front of Red Rock Hotel and along Gurney Drive (Night Time)
I was demanded to pay in RM2 (In front of Red Rock Hotel) and RM3 (Along Gurney Drive) as parking fee by those authorised MPPP parking attendant. Reason given by them were,"senang, pay in advance and you boleh park sampai besok pagi". Are they authorised to do so? I personally don't think they are authorised to do so. From what I understood if not mistaken, by right, they should issue the yellow invoice first and follow up with the issuance of receipt when we pay up the parking fee.
Just wondering, has the City Council now under the new CAT government put in any effort to improve the present current parking system? As far as I am concern, so far since 8th March, 2008, I haven't seen much improvement on the parking system as compared to during BN time. I personally think that it is high time that the MPPP seriously consider implementing the coupon parking system, similar to system implemented by MPSP or in Singapore. Yes, some (or even Gerakan) may argued that many parking attendants may be out of job due to this implementation. As the old saying goes, if you want to be paid well, please work properly. If you lose your job for not working properly, please do not blame others but yourself. Nobody is indispensable.
