When people talk about why must MPSP introduce parking fee system to a kampong town like Nibong Tebal, the feedback is that MPSP has no money. Is that a good reason? No.
No development in Nibong Tebal. No business activity in Nibong Tebal. No entertainment in Nibong Tebal. Believing it or not, cinema business has come and go, NIbong Tebal had never got a proper cinema! NT had one in olden days called Southern Talkies, a hall running as a cinema. Closed many many years ago.
Nibong Tebal had never enjoy a proper bus station ever since the pre war days. Even the few taxis operating in the town could not find a living.
The only life NT has is the sole mini-supermart with its surrounding stalls for food.And also the Banks serving the old folks for savings, and some businessmen for business account. The banks also serve the fishermen nearby --- Sungai Udang.
I thought MPSP generate income from development not from poor local residents.If so, collect parking fee from kampong folks, estate residents lah! If that is so, PKR state government will be replaced by BN in the next generation.
It is not just a postpondment of one year, MPSP should help to bring life to NT. NT nearly lost its only bus transport facility---bus service from NT to BM. Then the bus service was restored. NT has no direct bus service to Butterworth, then Rapid bus came in. Get more life to NT and when it has become a business township, not a dead kampong township, come and collect your parking fee. But not now! Collecting from residents who park their vehicle right infront of their own houses. That is crazy!
Think about the challenge to bring life to Nibong Tebal.
