MIRI (Aug 26): Those who have yet settle their outstanding parking compounds are urged to clear them, or risk facing legal action.

This was stressed by Mayor Adam Yii when met by the reporters after chairing Miri City Council (MCC)’s monthly meeting that the Miri City Council (MCC) is considering legal action against defaulters of parking compounds.

“There are still a significant number of outstanding parking compounds that remain unpaid, and they have accumulated over the years and affected the council’s efforts in improving public services and facilities.

“Therefore, to ensure fairness and accountability, MCC strongly urges all vehicle owners with outstanding parking compounds to settle their dues immediately.

“Those who fail to clear their outstanding compounds may face legal action, including being brought to court,” said Yii during the media briefing.

He advised those unsure of their status to check via Borneo Park Miri mobile application, or by contacting Borneo Parking System Sdn Bhd on 085-418 743, for further assistance and enquiries.

Yii also reminded all that no discount, reduction or amnesty would be granted for any case of outstanding parking compounds.

“The persistent defaulters may risk having their details submitted to Credit Tip-Off Service (CTOS) and that once blacklisted, this may affect an individual’s ability to apply for bank loans, credit cards, and other financial facilities in the future.”

The initiative of classifying and registering parking compound defaulters in the CTOS system was taken by the MCC as one of the effort to push them to settle their compounds.

“So far, the number of those who have paid the outstanding amounts has been quite encouraging,” said Yiis.
