  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: ParkIt Malaysia has refuted claims that it was responsible for collecting a RM5 parking fee at the Maluri Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Park and Ride facility, following complaints shared on social media. The statement from the parking management company came after MRT users expressed dissatisfaction with an unidentified person believed to have openly collected payment from motorists at the facility. In its denial, ParkIt emphasized that the individual collecting payment was not affiliated with the company or any of its representatives. The company explicitly stated that it does not collect any parking fees at the Maluri MRT facility and does not authorize any party to collect payments on its behalf. ParkIt took action against the incident, filing a police report and providing video footage of the event to the relevant authorities. The company also reported the incident to MRT Corp, Rapid KL, the police, and Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL). Rapid KL representatives, along with Prasarana auxiliary police personnel, visited the location to inspect the area and enhance security measures. ParkIt advised users to document the time and location of any such incidents and report them to the police via the 999 emergency line or send a direct message to ParkIt.",
