Federation of Malaysian Consumer Associations (FOMCA) deputy secretary-general, Nur Asyikin Aminuddin, also questioned DBKL's justification on the matter.

"The area is a public space. It's for communal use. What benefit does the presence of valet parking provide to users? After working hours, parking should be free for everyone.

"Parking touts don't make it easier for users. Their conduct is similar to street thugs," she said.

She also urged DBKL to monitor whether the parking touts who offer valet services have licenses from DBKL.
