MELAKA: Melaka will no longer impose parking fee on weekends and public holidays, including at tourist hotspots, said Melaka Housing, Local Government and Environment Committee chairman Tey Kok Kiew. “We hope the move will draw more tourists to the state and put an end to the menace of touts collecting parking fees,” he said. Previously, parking fees were collected within the city centre during weekends at the same weekday rate of between 40sen and 60sen per hour. He said 14,115 parking bays under the Melaka Historical City Council’s (MBMB) jurisdiction will stop parking fee collection from this Friday. The two types of payment method are via coupons or users can download and use the “Smart Parking Melaka” app via Android or IOS devices.
