19.08.2025 My First Parking Summons of the Year (Decade?)

 Do Not Assume. It makes an Ass out of U and Me

I have been to many places in Shah Alam and a lot of them does not require me to pay for any parking, unless I am inside a Commercial Centre. So, anywhere I go, I would park VeeChai as if its a normal thing to do so. But that was almost a decade ago.

A Very Expensive Parking Fee

Saman me one, shame on me.
Saman me twice, poor foolish me.

Anyway, today, I parked my car as usual without much worry. My logic was, in just less than 100 metres was a construction area which I doubt anyone would take much interest. And so, after about ,pre than an hour of no show, we decided to leave the area. And yeah, my colleague handed me the summons which was tacked onto the windshield.

I panicked for a split second, not because of getting a summons but the thought of WHERE to go to pay for it, followed with a horrifying image of a very hours long type of QUEUING.

But after having a closer look, the summons said I only have to pay RM10 within 24 hours. And there was some helpful little hint as to where I can pay. Since I have the FlexiParking (thank goodness I have neough funds) my worry dissipated and it became a 24-hour deadline instead. 

 
After scanning the Barcode at the bottom of the ticket, the FlexiParking screen refreshed itself and showed my naughty deed.


It also has a reminder of how the price increase if I decided not to pay asap. 

Anyway, it's done and I have to make sure I top-up in case I need to park anywhere in Kay-El, which is a must or in case I need to pay for my Wife's of kid's car. Yes, FlexiParking allows you to do that.
