meter made


This is a parking meter. Self-explanatory. A parking space is something of a luxury here in KL. There's never enough. So, when you find one, you better have a errand boy that keeps running out every half hour to feed it with coins. These meters used to be a dull gray but have been 'refurbished' with a fresh yellow and red coat of colour.

We have a similar situation here in NYC, the city raises a lot of money with parking tickets which are pretty expensive, and they make it as easy to run afoul of the regulations as possible, so you have to watch out. Also I guess this attitude discourages the use of cars (to not much avail, though most people don't own cars who live in the city itself)...

Lucy: Nothing discourages Malaysians from driving. Double parking is a norm here. Very annoying.

Adam: believe it or not, I was parked 3 blocks away and was walking to have lunch with a friend. The area this meter is in ain't an easy place to get a space.
