In the incident yesterday, MPSP enforcement officers decided to tow the car after the unidentified owner refused to pay the RM50 compound to unclamp his car tyres.
According to a local trader the Chinese daily interviewed, MPSP enforcement officers clamped the man’s car tyres after the latter refused to re-park his vehicle. He had initially parked his car in a bay reserved for motorcycles.
When the man refused to fork out money for the fine, the enforcement officers called in a tow truck to remove the car. It was then that the man decided to lie under his car.
This led to the enforcement officers calling the police, who subsequently arrested the man. Seberang Perai councillor Tan Cheong Heng confirmed the incident.
