Once a year, there is an amnesty month ; where the penalties on the unpaid street parking fees in Kota Kinabalu are mostly waived (95% waiver).
This year, they were collecting the arrears (after waiver) at a booth in Tanjung Aru (one of the collecting locations) yesterday and today. In Kota Kinabalu, street parking fees are payable with 21 days.
It seemed there were "customers". I submitted my vehicle number for checking ...
It seemed that the statement was issued by The Mayor of Kota Kinabalu; who seemed to be managed by a company called Wawasan Iktisas Sdn Bhd!It seemed that I had parking fees of RM6.95 outstanding up to June 2010 (data-entry chores are A Bitch!!!). The penalties were supposed to be RM80.00. Was it any wonder that no-one bothered to pay the fees after the 21-day grace period?
Anyway, they graciously waived 95% of the penalties (net payable RM4.00); leaving a net payable of RM10.95. As a law-abiding citizen, I paid up.
Noticing my cousin's car parked near our Tanjung Aru Post Office, I phoned him and went for "yam cha".Do notice that the gate (behind the lady in the center of the photo) had come off the guide-tracks; so everyone can enter the post office compound at ALL hours (the post boxes are on the external wall of the building) to collect their mail! It had been that way for more than a week. Bureaucracy at work!
