Mass car towing along Bukit Bintang grips attention, sparking debate

 

IT IS a veritable car sale along Jalan Bukit Bintang, with the many police tow trucks picking up the cars parked illegally by the side of the road.

News portal BERNAMA TV, who posted the video said it happened due to many people who participated in Thalita’s concert.

According to netizen Mohd Muhsin, he had seen such things being done live, that DBKL came with a group and immediately dragged the cars without much conversation.

“But there are those who came running to save their cars,” added Mohd Muhsin.

Although the authorities are usually not high on the popularity scale, DBKL seemed to have scored some major points in that operation.

Aarchduke.aarif added that this should have been a daily routine, especially during the night. He added that the illegal parking was the main reason why the area there is always congested.

Also, another netizen mentioned that if such things were done across Kuala Lumpur on a daily basis, DBKl would be rich.

Netizen 𝒮𝑜𝓊𝒻𝒾𝐻𝒶𝓈𝒷𝒾™ jokingly added that they could buy many two trucks after this and set a return on investment of two years.
