Illegal Parking in the City

Seems that this is an intractable problem, made worse by inconsistent enforcement and unruly motorists. I wonder if this can be alleviated by having very focused "operasi saman parking" done over a period of a few weeks, area-by-area in KL.

Another thing to do may be to include in the parking ticket, a map of public car parks nearby, including their hourly rates.  Sort of a message that says "look, this is illegal parking, but legal and less costly (if you get a ticket) options are nearby and not that inconvenient"

You can even get the parking operators to print out the fliers - it's to their benefit to get more motorists to park there, anyway!
