a resident of SS12/1C Subang Jaya. In order to get to my house, I usually pass by the Subang Jaya Medical Centre’s (SJMC) emergency entrance.
It was not a problem until SJMC closed its parking area to facilitate the building of new parking bays.
As a result of the closure, visitors are now parking their cars haphazardly alongside roads near and around SJMC’s south tower.
They park their cars on both sides of the road, leaving a small space for cars to go through.
Cars have to take turns to go through that small space. It should be all right when there are no cars or when the drivers are considerate.
But often than not, drivers don’t seem to care. And that same road leads to SJMC’s emergency room.
What if an ambulance gets stuck just because drivers do not want to give way? Would they (the drivers) want to be responsible for a person’s death?
I have complained to the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) several times, by phone and by email, to rectify this matter, either by towing away the cars (there is a ‘towing zone’ sign) or issuing summons.
MPSJ did respond via letters dated 12th, 16th and24th June, basically stating they found my complaints to be true and that they will take action.
And the letter on the 16th and 24th stated that the area in question is a ’kawasan rondaan harian’, that compounds were issued and that the file is now closed.
My question is: How can the file be closed? It has to be left opened indefinitely. People are still parking their cars alongside the road. And there are no enforcement officers around. And this problem not only exists during the day but also way into the night where it is worse since they know MPSJ officers only work during office hours.
I hope MPSJ will take the necessary action.
