LAST Monday, on my way to Kuala Lumpur from Kuantan, I stopped in Mentakab for lunch and parked my car using a parking coupon I bought from Kuantan.

A parking attendant issued a summons, giving the reason that the Kuantan parking coupon could not be used in Mentakab.

This is ridiculous. Kuantan and Mentakab are in the same state. Does it mean we have to carry parking coupons from all the different districts if we travel frequently?

The parking attendant refused to accept my explanation and challenged me to lodge a complaint. I would like an explanation from Majlis Perbandaran Temerloh.
