Letter To The Editor - Tiara Parking

Dear Editor,

In my opinion, "lackadaisical" depicts the resident's "apathy" giving rise to "haphazard" parking along 17/1. It is not just subjected to the recent security forum. Pelik Tapi Benar?

Parking on Jalan 17/1 is a hazard for other drivers. And when something disastrous happens only then action is taken, a little too late (a normal practice ah?) It is also a welcoming sight for criminal activities as the cars become vulnerable targets. It is a sight for sore eyes indeed, happening and will happen again and again right before our very eyes and at a "sacred" place which some of us call "Home Sweet Home."

Something needs to be done.

Actually if Tiarans can set their vision "yonder" – where? Just across the road from Tiara Damansara, what can they see? Yes, abundance of ready made available car parks up for grabs, courtesy of MBPJ, of course. And no meters…wow!!

It is in my view, that TMC should work with the authorities of MBPJ to direct all vehicles parking along Jalan 17/1 to this "Parking Heaven."

Creating car parks along Jalan 17/1 is an unfounded suggestion lacking in long-term vision. Why should TMC fork out owner's funds into developing public grounds outside of the perimeters of Tiara Damansara? Have TMC lost their scruples?

I certainly for one would not foot the bill for this charade but instead put my foot firmly down against the idea in toto. Parking along Jalan 17/1 is illegal and should be totally banned.

Yes, yes I know! Some Tiarans will say "ai yah", “why like that one!”, “So far aah!!”, “How like that?”, “Safe or not my car?”, “Very susah lah like this!”, “How my grandpa? How my grandma?”, “How, how, how?”, “Why, why, why?" Am I correct?

As an Ex –"Watch Dog" myself, my advice to my fellow comrades, move on, You can't please anybody though everybody has a right to cooperate and corporate right. Just like you and I, bonafide owners, that is. Car parks woes as I would describe in my own term as a classical cliché, TMC has other agenda to excel for and not just limiting itself to the one prolonged issue that the developer or even the town planners had failed to vision before.

If there's no room within, too bad. If there's room but cost is a factor, too bad. If the car park over "Yonder" is too far to walk, too bad. Vandalism – too bad, make a police report, lah!

Owning a unit or more in Tiara Damansara comes with a price. TMC are not the "Fall Guys" nor a "Punching Bag" nor to compensate for this earlier shortage parking space. Owners owning just one car have learned to adapt and adopt, live within the restrictions. Life goes on. On the other hand, others with two or more cars who fail to see this ongoing "Kisah Benar" negates its exercising existence and continue to be "Duri Dalam Daging."

Last but not least, try good managing over creating, see if it works, if not too bad lah!

Without prejudice / owner.
