The Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) is actively investigating reports of parking summonses being issued outside of designated operating hours. The council acknowledged a Utusan Malaysia report detailing user complaints about summonses issued after 6:30 p.m. on weekdays or during weekends and public holidays, periods when parking should be free. MBPJ has stated it takes these allegations seriously and is conducting a thorough review. According to MBPJ regulations, paid parking operates from Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Parking is free on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, subject to specific location rules. To facilitate a detailed investigation, MBPJ has requested that individuals who received these disputed summonses contact specific officers.

This information is essential for MBPJ to conduct a proper verification and address the concerns raised by the public.
