On November 15, Cheras police chief ACP Mohd Rosdi Daud confirmed the arrest of a local man in his 50s in connection with the alleged illegal collection of parking fees near the Maluri MRT station. The incident gained attention on social media after several Threads users reported individuals demanding RM5 from motorists, despite clear signage indicating that parking was free at the location.
ParkIt Malaysia, the company accused of the alleged activity, reported the matter to the police after receiving a complaint. They clarified that they do not impose parking fees at the site, stating that the Land and Mines Office had confirmed the third party involved was not licensed to operate there. ParkIt Malaysia expressed their cooperation with the police to identify those behind the activity and urged the public to provide any receipts, company names or QR codes used by the individuals to aid the investigation.
