Selayang council still negotiating terms with new parking concessionaire
Selayang Municipal Council (MPS) is still negotiating terms for Selangor's centralised parking system with the appointed concessionaire.
MPS president Shahman Jalaludin said several terms of the concession were still under discussion.
'It is not finalised yet.
'Hopefully, we can settle it as soon as possible,' he said after chairing the local council's monthly full board meeting at its headquarters in Bandar Baru Selayang.
Shahman said MPS was looking to maintain its current parking revenue, and not get less.
'We are trying to push for the same revenue as before,' he said, adding that the municipal council collected about RM300,000 a month previously.
The Selangor Intelligent Parking (SIP) system is a state-led initiative to digitalise and centralise public parking.
The initiative is spearheaded by Menteri Besar Incorporated (MBI) Selangor and implemented through a company in collaboration with local councils.
Under the SIP model, parking revenue will be split with 50% going to the concessionaire, 40% to the local councils involved and 10% to MBI. It has been announced that the implementation is from Aug 1.
MPS is one of four local councils that are in the state's plan for SIP, alongside Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ), Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) and Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ).
Shahman said enforcement would remain under MPS.
He said the transition period was expected to take about two months.
Infrastructure works such as repainting parking bays and installing closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras will begin after the contract is finalised, he elaborated.
He added that MPS would help identify hotspot areas for CCTV placement, but equipment and installation costs would be borne by the concessionaire.
'We have to make sure any new system should benefit the council and the public,' Shahman emphasised.

Medical practitioner loses RM8.7 mln in online investment scam
JOHOR BAHRU: A 53-year-old medical practitioner lost her life savings of RM8.7 million after being deceived by an online investment scam offering unrealistic stock trading profits. Johor Bahru Selatan deputy police chief Supt Azrul Hisham Mohd Shaffei revealed that the victim encountered the fraudulent scheme through a social media advertisement in April. The scammer enticed her with promises of high returns, leading her to engage in further discussions. 'The suspect offered returns of up to 520 percent on her investment, convincing her to transfer RM8.7 million into multiple bank accounts between May and July,' he said. Despite the substantial investment, the victim was later informed she had only earned RM6,033 in returns. The fraudster then pressured her into paying an additional RM500,000 as a 'deposit' to withdraw her funds. Azrul Hisham added that the victim realised she had been scammed after receiving threats that her account would be frozen. She filed a police report yesterday, and authorities are investigating the case under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. - Bernama

SC charges former unit trust consultant with securities fraud
PETALING JAYA: The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) has charged a former unit trust consultant (UTC), Nadihah Nawi, at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court for offences relating to securities fraud involving purported unit trust investments. In a statement, the SC said Nadihah, 34, faced two charges jointly with another individual who is currently at large, under section 179(b) of the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007 (CMSA), read together with section 34 of the Penal Code. 'She was charged with defrauding two investors of RM20,000 by representing to them a unit trust investment in Kenanga Investors Bhd (KIB). The offences took place between January and June 2022 in Kuala Lumpur. 'The monies deposited by the investors were instead utilised for Nadihah's own unit trust investments in KIB. Nadihah was a UTC with Principal Asset Management Bhd at the material time.' The SC said Nadihah claimed trial to both charges before Sessions Court judge Tuan Izralizam Sanusi and was granted bail of RM70,000 with two local sureties. The court also imposed an additional bail condition for the Accused to report to the SC's investigating officer at the SC office in Kuala Lumpur on a monthly basis. 'The court however did not order for the surrender of Nadihah's passport as it had already expired in 2023.' If convicted, Nadihah faces a jail term not exceeding 10 years and a fine of not less than RM1mil.
