It seems the problem of errant motorists who frequently park their cars illegally on the road shoulder in and around KLCC have irked many. In response, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) recently conducted a special operation to clamp down against these offenders.

Last weekend, the Kuala Lumpur district Traffic Enforcement and Investigation Department (JSPT KL) arm conducted the special operation mentioned on Saturday evening from 10PM until late – arguably a peak window and timeframe to catch these offenders.
