A complaint was seen on social media regarding errant shop owners dumping their trash at the parallel parking lots along Macpherson Road.
The netizen who started the post also included images of the alleged trash dumping on the road outside these shops.
He laments that parking along Macpherson Road is already hard to find as it is always busy and yet there are till shop owners that are irresponsibly throwing their trash and cluttering up space on these lots, taking up one precious space for motorists to park their vehicles.
