Today is the the 17/01/10 (Sunday). One of the days that majority of the people would go to these big wet markets...
I woke up so early this morning at 7am which I usually only wake up at roughly 10am just to pick up my grandparents and drive them to the wet market in Jinjang Utara. Is a market that is usually crowded with people and a place where parking is really limited. All cars were parked everywhere without obstructing the traffic of course.
So, we arrived at the wet market at 8am and went in circles looking for a place to park. I decided to drop them off 1st while I take my time searching for parking. Going in circles for like 20 mins and still can't find a space to park my car.
Finally, i found an empty spot by the side where every single car was also parked there nearby a junction. So, happily found a spot and went looking for my grandparents in the market. After an hour plus, I came back but to my suprise, a summon was issued and was placed under my car wiper.
I went looking around and the cars nearby, none of them got a summon ticket except mine. So, fine. I drove off and saw a few cars a bit further up got a summon ticket as well but not all of them at one row. Is more like randomly picked type of summon. Actually, these guys which i suspect, they are just selecting a few cars to summon in order to show that they are doing their job instead of roaming around doing nothing i suppose. There are no other reasons that i can think of why other cars did not get a summon except mine and a few other unlucky ones.
I actually seen such thing before happen in Sri Bintang near a corner lot restaurant if some of u r staying in Kepong would know where is that place that I'm talking about. All of a sudden when i was eating in the restaurant, came a police car stopped by the side. So, everyone was wondering if they are issuing summon and it is exactly what we thought. Most of us quickly remove our cars as there were not parking box around the area to be on the safe side. After I park my car at a proper parking space, i walk back to the restaurant and I realised that not all the cars were issued with a summon. Just some of them, if those are obstructing traffic, I understand and know why they deserve a summon which is different case. Most of the cars just parked at the side of the road. We were just wondering whether it is just a job that they have to do in order to report back to the office that they did their work and things like that...
Unfortunately, this time it happened to me for the 1st time. I mean nobody would expect to be summoned in such areas where it is just a wet market where it is so crowded and just a restaurant at row of shop houses in such area. Is not PJ area or anything or even equip with Parking Meters. No one would expect this to happen in such areas.
Anyway, just an advice, to be safe, try to park at a proper parking space instead in future cuz nowadays these kind of summons can happen anyway or anytime possible. Is already the 2nd time I come across such situation and type of summons. Well, I have no choice but to pay for the summon this time. Can't really argue with them as well. Still as these people know is a wet market and parking space is limited and is also a sunday where most of the people would go to such markets to buy some food. It is actually one of the best spot and opportunity for them to issue summons. Still I was there and none of the cars was obstructing the traffic.
So, just be more cautious with where u park or you might end up like me getting a summon for nothing.
