30 January, 2014: The Municipal Council of Penang Island announces that the new effective date for displaying the parking coupons is now 15 February, 2014.

16 January, 2014: The following is the English translation of the announcement by the Municipal Council of Penang Island, as placed on the MPPP Facebook Page. This announcement is meant to update the general public over a few issues related to the New Parking System that was launched on 1 January, 2014.

1. The lack of parking coupons has become an issue since 8 January, 2014, and Alam Indah Sdn Bhd, as the administrator of the parking system has been required to ensure a sufficient stock of the coupons. As of 15 January, 2014, as many as 220,000 coupon booklets have been printed by Perkhidmatan Alam Indah Sdn Bhd. Uneven distribution of the coupons and demand that outstrip supply has resulted in numerous public complaints.

2. The Municipal Council has taken action in issuing a warning letter and seeking a show-cause letter from the administrator, considering the gravity of the failure of the company to complete a basic task of providing an effective parking system.

3. The Municipal Council announces that from today, Thursday, 16 January, 2014, the general public is no longer required to display the car parking coupon until such time that the issue of stock deficiency is overcome by the parking system administrator, when all coupon retailers have received their supplies and are able to restock their supplies without delay or issue. The new effective date will be announced later.

Perkhidmatan Alam Indah Sdn Bhd nevertheless is required to pay monthly rental for the parking lots to the Municipal Council at RM651,923.00 per month. The exemption from parking coupons is for all Council parking spaces not including:

Light Street Car Park

Batu Lanchang Car Park

Padang Brown Car Park

Sungai Nibong Express Bus Terminal Car Park

4. Coupon retailers are reminded not to overcharge above the rate prescribed by the Council. Coupon retailers who do not follow the prescribed rate will be warned and may have their services terminated.
Coupon booklets are to be sold at RM4 for boolets with ten 40-sen coupons and RM6 for booklets with five 40-sen and five 80-sen coupons. The general public is urged not to buy coupon booklets set at a higher price than stated.

5. The issue of illegal parking attendants is still happening, particularly at touristic areas. The cooperation of the general public is appreciated in not paying the illegal parking attendants. Council will work with the police to tackle this problem.

My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
