RM200m smart parking plan rolls out Aug 1, outsourcing here to stay, says Selangor rep
SHAH ALAM, July 16 — Parking management through a concessionaire has been in use in Selangor since 1996 and as of June, five local authorities (PBTs) still outsourced parking management to concessionaires, says State Local Government and Tourism Committee chairman Datuk Ng Suee Lim. Ng said the implementation of concessionary parking management, which will be signed and enforced on Aug 1, will improve the existing system. 'This (privatisation) has its pros and cons, so this time the state is ensuring a win-win situation by adopting the approach of using Smart Intelligent Parking (SIP), with the Menteri Besar Selangor Incorporated or Selangor MBI playing a role in parking management,' he said at his office at the Selangor State Secretariat Building (SUK) yesterday. Ng said the decision to implement the management system stemmed from the 33rd/2024 State Executive Council Meeting (MMKN) which convened on Nov 28, 2024, and was confirmed in the 34th/2024 MMKN on Dec 6, 2024. 'The Selangor government agreed in principle to implement parking management (TLK) through a collaboration between the Selangor MBI and private companies. 'Then the 12th/MMKN 2025 on April 23, 2025, confirmed by the 13th/MMKN 2025 on April 30, 2025, agreed that a wholly owned subsidiary under the MBI Group, namely Rantaian Mesra Sdn Bhd, be appointed to implement the Smart TLK management in the state of Selangor,' he said. Meanwhile, Ng said the Smart Parking model would involve a tripartite collaboration between the local authority (PBT) as the body determining policy, payment rates and parking zones, Rantaian Mesra as the system coordinator responsible for technical reporting, and the concessionaire appointed. 'This implementation will be formalised through a tripartite agreement between the specific PBT, the concessionaire and Rantaian Mesa Sdn. Bhd to define clearly each party's role, scope and responsibility that comply with the prescribed governance,' he said. Ng said the concessionaire would invest RM200 million for the Smart Parking Infrastructure, including the installation of 1,800 closed-circuit cameras in the four PBTs involved in the first phase. Meanwhile, he said enforcement remained under the jurisdiction of the PBT as provided for in the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333) and the Local Government Act 1976 (Act 171). He explained that the concessionaire was only responsible for system maintenance, payment of staff salaries (emoluments) while all enforcement action, including the issuing of compound notices, would still be carried out by PBT officers. Ng said the PBTs would not bear any operating costs but were expected to receive higher collections. — Bernama Ng Suee Lim, car park, Selangor MBI, PBT, concessionaire, tripartite agreement, Rantaian Mesa Sdn.

Selangor parking management outsourced since 1996
SHAH ALAM: Parking management through concessionaires in Selangor is not a new practice, as it has been in place since 1996. As of June, five local authorities (PBTs) continue to outsource parking management to private operators, according to State Local Government and Tourism Committee chairman Datuk Ng Suee Lim. Ng stated that the upcoming concessionary parking management system, set to take effect on Aug 1, will enhance the current framework. He explained that while privatisation has its advantages and disadvantages, the state is now ensuring a balanced approach by integrating Smart Intelligent Parking (SIP) with involvement from Menteri Besar Selangor Incorporated (Selangor MBI). The decision to implement this system originated from the 33rd/2024 State Executive Council Meeting (MMKN) on Nov 28, 2024, and was later confirmed in the 34th/2024 MMKN on Dec 6, 2024. The Selangor government agreed in principle to manage parking through a partnership between Selangor MBI and private firms. Further approvals came during the 12th/MMKN 2025 on April 23, 2025, and the 13th/MMKN 2025 on April 30, 2025, which designated Rantaian Mesra Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary under MBI Group, to oversee Smart Parking management statewide. Ng highlighted that the Smart Parking model involves a tripartite collaboration between local authorities (PBTs), Rantaian Mesra as the system coordinator, and appointed concessionaires. A formal agreement will outline each party's responsibilities, ensuring compliance with governance standards. The concessionaire will invest RM200 million in Smart Parking infrastructure, including 1,800 CCTV cameras across four PBTs in the initial phase. However, enforcement remains under PBT jurisdiction as per the Road Transport Act 1987 and Local Government Act 1976. Ng clarified that concessionaires will handle system maintenance and staff salaries, while enforcement actions, including issuing compound notices, will remain with PBT officers. The PBTs will not incur operational costs and are expected to see increased revenue from the new system. – Bernama
