Stomp and MCF has its effect - Proved!

There was a discussion here last week why HDB only summon him $50 instead of $400.

Online forum has its positive effect!

 

 

 

 

Driver parks at space for disabled to protest lack of lots

 

TO DRIVE home his point to HDB that there is a shortage of parking spaces in his area for residents, a man resorted to hogging a disabled parking lot in the estate, according to The Straits Times (ST).

 

Businessman Yew Chee Heng has parked his white BMW in the handicap lot for the past two months even though he does not have a handicap label.

 

The 34-year-old said he has no place to park in the Bukit Purmei estate every night and he did it because the parking problem has been there since he moved in.

 

 

Checks by ST showed that he had seven unpaid summonses issued between March 16 and April 1, each amounting to a fine of $50.

 

But the man has not approached his MP or HDB about the parking crunch because he is afraid that they would not hear him out.

 

He explained to ST that they might not listen to him because he is not 'an educated person' and he has a criminal record.

 

According to the report, his 'protests' first started back in 2006 when he just moved into the area. Then, he was driving a Toyota Mark X and he would park along the double yellow lines or in the handicap lot whenever he couldn't find a lot.

 

Mr Yew claimed he has since incurred over $3,000 in fines for such behaviour.

 

Is he right?

 

The report said residents living in Blocks 112 to 115 in Bukit Purmei Road agreed that there is a lack of parking lots.

 

One housewife said the spaces around Block 115 are filled up by 9pm and it is impossible to find a lot nearby.

 

But the interviewed residents also disagreed with Mr Yew's actions.

 

Another housewife S. Wong, 50, said the actions were selfish. 'Everyone faces the same problem, not just him, but he shouldn't park at the handicap lot,' she told ST.

 

Since the first report that came out on Sunday, Mr Yew has paid all the fines for his parking offences.

 

According to a HDB spokesman, they issued him a higher fine of $400 for his most recent offence on Sunday, the report said.

 

The report added that Mr Yew has stopped parking illegally since Sunday - not because he is remorseful.

 

On the contrary he stopped because his wife was angry with him after photographs of her and their children were discovered and posted on online forums, where they have been the subjects of online abuse.

Means he will keep paying the fine if he never been stomped.

[Ladykillerz]

not saying i am siding him.

but at least, he got his strong reason for it.

he is trying to "voice out" quietly to the authority to do something about it! something about increasing of parking lots!

unfortunately, such approach is not recognised by many.

No need lah... Just don't shower for a week, don't change clothes for a week, once you step into the train, the crowd automatically disappears.

[Thaiyotakamli]

not siding with him but i feel that its really hard to find some slot in some HDB car park due to lots of visitor

[Good-Carbuyer]

Minister in charge ought to be ashame of this

[Rb26dett]

his actions may not be the best way to resolve anything..

 

but then on a daily basis , i am facing such an issue as well.due to my work nature , i always come home late and it's almost impossible to find lots.

i have to park along double yellow line and stay awake till 6+ for those taxi drivers or those working early to drive their vehicle go work then

i would rush down to shift my car.most of the time things are ok , but ocassionally i might get unlucky where those wilson parking wardens will

come at 4am .

 

i tried bringing this issue up to the town council parking department of my area.but nothing's done.went down to see them , spoke to them over the phone , emails ..

the incharged mr chandra only said "cant be no lots..definately have." and after afew calls to him , he even have the cheek to say things like " if you are unhappy with our parking system ,

u can always return us the season parking" its like w*f ...

[Tom_kkh]

Now we know an uneducated ex convict don mind paying fines to get a lot and high "class" managers with good degree are finding ways to find free illegal parking.

Yeah..L*A increased the number of COE for the last 5 years but failed to collobrate these issue with HDB....

and i believed if all MCFers will to put the parking area code here(e.g J73) of their area that was shortage of parking lots...it will definitely be scary..
