The Dutch captured Malacca from the Portugese in 1641 and ruled the lucrative spice trade for 150 years. They are now making a comeback on Malaysian shores. This time in the form of parking meters hastilly installed by the Subang Jaya Municipal Council in the Bandar Puteri Puchong commercial centre.
As reported in The Sun (March 27th) the Pay and Display machines instructions are in Dutch and uses the Euro currency. The paper reported that the machines look weathered and are probably second-hand machines. When informed of this the local council spokesperson said that they will despatch a team to investigate the matter.
The reality is its just another fuckin rush job by the councils cronies to start operations before the state goverment looks into all these shady deals and agreements. Its a known fact that many local councellors have a finger in the lucrative parking meter business.
