SIBU (March 11): The Sibu Municipal Council (SMC) today compounded six vehicle owners for flouting parking regulations in the town area.
According to SMC deputy chairman Mohammed Abdullah Izkandar Roseley said the compounds were mainly issued for parking in undesignated areas, such as taxi parking spots, yellow lines at Jalan Sanyan in front of Ah Ho Mee Sapi, and Jalan Raminway.
“The enforcement team of the SMC has conducted monitoring and enforcement actions against vehicles committing parking violations around the town centre,” he said.
He added that some drivers immediately drove their vehicles away upon seeing SMC enforcement team.
“I have informed enforcements to keep doing their rounds,” he said.
SMC also reminds all road users to adhere to designated parking rules to prevent congestion and ensure smooth traffic flow in the area.
“SMC enforcement officers have been gazetted as traffic wardens, empowering them to carry out enforcement actions under Section 3(4) of the Road Transport Act 1987 and the Parking Provision Order (Sibu Municipal Council) 2004 within SMC’s administrative area,” he said.
For public complaints regarding parking offences, individuals may submit information with uploaded photos as evidence of violations to SMC Cares WhatsApp at 019-817 9297.
