Facebook user Eddy Tang, shared how he had decided to take a quick break and turned into an open carpark at Taman Jurong.
He wrote that he was inside the carpark for a total of 20 minutes, and he was “shocked” that he was charged $4.60 for the parking fee.
Here is what he said
Open carpark next to old Taman Jurong cinema and beside Taman Jurong multi storey hawker.
Not familiar with the area. It was raining in that day n wanted to take a quick break.
Seeing the open carpark (managed by Wilson parking), I just turned into the carpark without thinking much. Only saw the word “NO GRACE PERIOD”.
Went in 750am n left 810am. Total 20mins. Exited carpark n deducted $4.60 for parking charges.
Was shocked. No need to argue.
Operator set this type of rate is not afraid of everyone knowing.
Netizens’ comments
- Maybe it will feel better to know this. From map, there is a multi storey wet market, hawker center & CC just beside the private car park. If they don’t do this, others will use it for loading of goods and other short purposes not related to the coffeeshop. Try parking at hawker center multistorey car park for better rate next time.
- I kenna once. Becoz urgent need to use toilet 15mins (very expensive toilet break)
- Since day one no graceÂ
