Painful RM20 Lesson


Several months ago, I noticed people placing their parking tickets, untabbed (holes not punched) on the windscreen of their car. I then noticed that when the ticketing lady (or man) came long, he/she would take the ticket and punch the appropriate holes. If you happen to come back before this happens, you just manage to save 20 cents and will be able to use the same ticket the next time you parked. I decided to do the same and it worked! I saved a bunch of parking tickets and had to pay almost nothing. Then a few days ago, next to the unpunched parking ticket on my windscreen was a summon ('offer to compond' was the phrase on the white note) under Article 10 (1)!!! I got fined RM20 for not punching holes into the ticket!!! Well, I guess I learnt my painful RM20 lesson.
