A Malaysian TV personality, Zhiddin Aziz, recently caught the attention of netizens after he confronted a parking tout in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, for charging him a whopping RM15 for a parking spot.
Zhiddin, who refused to pay the parking fare that was illegally charged, had a stern conversation with the foreign man and asked who allowed him to collect parking fares at the premises.
The man falsely claimed that the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) greenlit him to do so and gave him the license to collect parking fares.
“If you don’t pay, your car might sustain damage”
In his Instagram video last night (12 November), Zhiddin refuted the tout’s claims, saying that DBKL would never issue an operating license to a foreigner. Zhiddin then asked what would happen if he refused to pay, to which the tout said,
“I don’t know. Maybe your car will be smashed.”
Zhiddin was unhappy with the tout and told him, “If my car is smashed, I know whose face to smash. I know your face.”
Regardless, Zhiddin parked his car at the spot, but insisted on not paying RM15 to the parking tout, and said that God would look after his car.
Zhiddin also reminded the tout to look for a better job. In the meantime, he also urged Malaysians to stop giving way to parking touts.
“If there are touts asking, ignore them. The more we allow this, the more they conquer.”

To those who have encountered parking touts in Klang Valley and other areas, do you confront them or do you pay them to avoid confrontations?
