KUALA LUMPUR, August 23: The Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) has been asked to upgrade the parking facilities of Complex C, MBPJ immediately so that it can be utilised by the public.
Assemblyman for Bukit Gasing, Rajiv Rishyakaran said that the parking capacity of 100 cars at the four-storey complex can accommodate 400 cars if the college building which has been vacated is torn down and turned into a parking space.
He also urged for the maintenance and cleaning of facilities to be carried out immediately.
“This parking complex is in a very strategic location because it comes with a sidewalk, however it is unfortunate that is it not well maintained and is unsatisfactory for public use,” he said during a visit to the area.
Also receiving attention was the safety of the parking lot users. Rajiv’s survey found that the parking complex does not have floodlights at every level, and there are no security guards.
Rajiv asked MBPJ to immediately upgrade what has been approved, including the installation of closed-circuit cameras on every floor of the building, as well as to repaint the premises.
“I also suggest for a dialogue to be held between business operators here and MBPJ to abolish the monthly parking system at this complex and open it to the public,” he said.
