PETALING JAYA (Sept 21): Those who like to chope or reserve parking spaces are liable to a fine or time behind bars, said the police.
In a Facebook posting yesterday, the Royal Malaysian Police said it was an offence under Section 50(3) of the Road Transport Act 1987 to stand, sit or place objects on parking spots to reserve them.
The punishment for this offence is either a fine of RM2,000 or jail time of up to six months, with heavier penalties for repeat offences.
The action is classified under unlawful interference and importuning.
"If any person, otherwise than with lawful authority, remains on any road or at any parking place for the purpose of importuning any other person in respect of the watching or cleaning of a motor vehicle, or for the purpose of directing any driver of a motor vehicle in respect of parking on such road or at such place, he shall be guilty of an offence,” according to the act.
