Effective October 2nd, the Pasir Gudang City Council (MBPG) issued notices prohibiting homeowners or neighbours from parking public vehicles in front of their respective houses.

According to BuletinTV3, the Mayor of MBPG states that anyone who does so can be subject to action under Section 48(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333), Section 49(1)(g) of the Street, Drainage and Building Act 1974 (Act 133), Minor Offenses 3(n) of the Minor Offenses (Pasir Gudang Municipal Council) 2011, and Orders 17(1) and 17(2) of the Road Traffic Orders (Parking provisions) of the Pasir Gudang Local Authority 2011.

Immediate compound action can be imposed under the minor offences law under the Local Government Act (MBPG) 2010, amounting to RM500, and under the road, drainage, and building minor offences law, with a maximum rate of RM2,000.

It is understood that MBPG took this stern action following an increase in reports from homeowners claiming that neighbours often parked vehicles in front of their houses, causing disharmony among the residents.
