The Chairman and friends,
Sibu, Sarawak. 4 JUNE, 2013
Dear Mr Chairman and friends,
No Parking Charge in Sibu
On behalf of the people in Sibu, I plead
you to tell SMC (Sibu Municipal Council) not to impose parking fee to other
areas other than the Sibu town centre.
It is good that SMC does not impose the vehicle parking charge in such areas as the shopping lots
where Ribunan Hijau (Tiong Thai King and his extended family own) office resides
opposite Jalan Poh Yew along Jalan Lanang;
the shopping lots behind the Rejang Medical Centre; Farley commercial
centre, Sing Kwong commercial centre ……………..
2. Here,
I would like to plead you to tell the SMC not to impose parking charge at the
bus terminal in Li-Hua shopping lots in Pahlawan. If possible undo the areas in the Rejang
Park; Delta Mall…… outside the main town centre where it has imposed the
parking fees. SMC once imposed parking
charge for the reason to deter some car owners to occupy limited parking bays
all day long in the Sibu main town centre and deprived others the chance. But SMC soon turned it to be a source of
income to upkeep high expenses incurred due to wastage of different kinds. It is very unfair to us, people.
3.
Please tell them that it is
very unfair to tell us that it needs the fines or the parking fees from the
Sibu people to upkeep the areas concerned.
Each house and each shop pays Rate and Assessment fee to SMC. If it still does not have enough money to maintain, well, we
would like SMC to request the Federal
government and the state government for more fund allocations. They just cannot exploit the Sibu people
anymore. We have paid enough taxes of
different kinds and natures.
4. It
is very unfair to impose parking charge in some areas and not in certain
areas. This will adversely affect the
businesses in the areas where parking charge is imposed.
Thank you for your attention.
