Kota Kinabalu: Parti Bersatu Sabah Api-Api Division Information Chief Yee Tsai Yiew lauded efforts by City Hall (DBKK) to improve parking issues here.

She said DBKK is currently studying the possibility of implementing a digital parking application, as well as proposing amendments to its by-laws.

Speaking after a courtesy call on Mayor Datuk Noorliza Awang Alip, she said they discussed various issues, including the possibility of issuing a new monthly pass for yellow parking spaces.

“Currently, only green parking spaces in Kota Kinabalu have monthly passes. Thus, DBKK is considering expanding the monthly passes for yellow parking spaces for the convenience of the public, especially office workers,” added Yiew.
