| Inconsiderate motorists irk business operators Posted: 29 Jul 2011 03:48 AM PDT GETTING in and out of their own parking bays every day has become a difficult task for the business operators in Taman Industri Selaman, Bandar Baru Bangi. This is due to inconsiderate drivers waiting for their turn for inspection at the Puspakom centre. Every day as early as 7am, cars are parked in front of the shops along Jalan P10/16 waiting for their turn for inspection. The industrial area has been mobbed by these drivers who started patronising the Puspakom inspection centre after it opened about four years ago. Clavenn Choo, 33, said the cars were there from morning to evening. Business operator Sylvia Lim said most of them would block the entrance and refuse to give way to patrons who wished to park at the proper parking bays. "They leave the cars there and it is difficult for us to remove our cars. "Even the postman finds it difficult to deliver the mail and ends up throwing it on our driveway," added Lim. To make matters worse, some of them are rude to the clients of business operators. ABEX Manufacturing Sdn Bhd supervisor Ramesh Kanthiah said there had been many accidents in the area due to the narrow roads. "Lorries are forced to manoeuvre through the narrow streets because of the queue. While negotiating the bend, many cars have been hit, including mine," he said. Ramesh added that it was not strategic to have the Puspakom centre there. Another businessman, who wished to be known as Zul, said the solution would be to ask the cars to queue up along the main road Jalan P10/10. "We have proposed this numerous times to the staff but nobody has bothered to solve the problem," he said. The Puspakom Communications Department said they had taken note of the feedback and had put on trial several options for better traffic flow. "We have changed the traffic flow for incoming and outgoing cars at our inspection centre to minimise the backlog. This has proved to be effective and we will continue to monitor the situation," the statement said. Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by Used Car Search. |
