Lo said the enforcement team had acted in accordance with the local authority ordinance and in the interest of the public.

“It is also a good reminder to all not to obstruct public parking spaces, depriving others from using them.”

PMC would do the same to maintain fairness, law and order in its area of jurisdiction or when faced with similar incident, he said when contacted yesterday.

Kota Samarahan Municipal Council (MPKS) chairman Dato Peter Minos also applauded Selangau’s action.

However, MPKS would only penalise offenders after giving them fair warning, he said.
Last Sunday, an enforcement team team issued a compound to a business owner for placing baskets to ‘reserve’ public parking spaces outside his premises at Selangau bazaar.

Its chairman Sempurai Petrus Ngelai said the compound was issued following complaints from members of the public.
