Last night while waiting for my wife at the taxi stand opposite
Fortune Center. I park at the last of the 4 lot so that other taxi
can go in and pick pax. I am happily eating my potato chips playing
my Note 2 then this FT Neh LTA enforcement come and disturb.
Knock knock my window...."Excuse me Sir why are you parking
here?"
"I am waiting for my private booking pax....."
"Sir you cannot park here...." I was like WTF.....
Then I tell him nicely "Why cannot? This is taxi stand..."
"Sir can you move forward...." Wah I hot liao...cos previous
night park there behind taxi stand kanna $70 from an ATB LTA
enforcement cos I go pang sai....
Then I get out of the cab start to raise my voice....."There is
4 taxi stand here so I park last lot cos I not taking pax cos I got
booking..."
That neh still insist I move....then I raise my voice further
ask him does he knows the rule or not?
Then he also a bit buay song liao ask me why talk to me nicely
must I shout?
Then I tell him in the first place he says I cannot park
here...he try to tell me his intention is just to ask me move
forward...
Then I tell him dun lie...his first comment is tell me cannot
park here...he then raise his voice to me says he only doing his
job.....
Then I saw car waiting at Fortune Center side I raise my voice
further tell him to go do his job...then he raise his voice tell me

Fortune Center, Indian Temple, Kuan Yin Temple come and see what

final straw.....I point to the car opposite and shouted at the top
of my voice at him until opposite side GSM Building also can

MAKE ME REPEAT MYSELF UNDERSTAND!!!!!"
Then he sees my face like want to kill his father mother liao
and he quickly go opposite and kpkb the car that is waiting....SONG
BO!!!!!
First of all i'm not siding anyone in this matter. Just refering
to what i was taught in TDVL, only 3mths+ since pass so still can
remember ah.
Instructor told me about this type of case before, technically
even if u waiting for someone, engine running hazard lights on and
you in vehicle, vehicle not in motion considered parking.
Since you not moving with the taxi queue and waiting for your
booking pax, it's considered parking. That is why officer initially
say "you cannot park here"
When officer ask u move on, he actually give chance so that u
move with the taxi queue so look like not parking, so hopefully
before u reach front of queue your pax come down liao. My guess is
cameras are watching.
The rules stupid actually, but sometimes have to give face to
those LTA guys. They in uniform so public constantly watching and
with so many cameras around now, even their boss are watching
sometimes.
I got friends in LTA and Traffic Police sometimes talk to them
pity them also, they sometimes have to do things just so "people"
can see they doing something.
