Woman blocks parking spot at mall, sparks legal debate
IS there anything more frustrating than finding a rare parking spot in a busy area—only to have someone physically stand in it to 'cop' (reserve) it? A video clip recently shared by @ on Threads showed exactly that. A woman was caught on camera standing in a vacant parking bay and stopping others from parking there. The incident took place at Checkers Hypermarket, Sri Sentosa, Old Klang Road. Despite multiple cars attempting to park at the space, the woman remained unbothered, seemingly waiting for her companion to arrive and claim it instead. The person who filmed the incident can be heard expressing frustration, calling the act 'not civilised.' More importantly, this behaviour is illegal. Section 50(3) of the Road Transport Act 1987 explicitly prohibits individuals from reserving parking spaces by physically standing in them or placing objects to block access, where violators can face a fine of up to RM2,000 or even a jail sentence of up to six months. 'It's not just rude, it's unlawful,' one user commented. 'Why do people still act like this in 2025?' The comment section was flooded with similar sentiments, condemning the woman's actions as selfish and embarrassing. This incident has once again reignited public discourse on parking etiquette, legal awareness, and civic responsibility in urban Malaysia.
