An illegal parking collector in Taman OUG, Kuala Lumpur has been arrested for allegedly assaulting a police officer during a confrontation. Teresa Kok, a member of parliament for Seputeh, reported the incident on social media. She claimed that despite enforcement notices from Kuala Lumpur City Hall, the man continued to collect parking fees at Jalan Hujan.
DBKL and the Federal Territories Director of Lands and Mines Office conducted a site visit on August 4 and took enforcement action, but the individual persisted in his operations. A video shared by Kok showed the man confronting enforcement personnel and allegedly assaulting an officer from the Seputeh Residents Representative Council.
Police later arrested the suspect. Online, the video received positive feedback with calls for similar actions against other illegal parking collectors in the Klang Valley. The New Straits Times has sought confirmation and additional details from the Petaling police station.
