Rifle Range Flats, one of the earliest flat in Penang, Malaysia. It consists of 7 blocks, each block 16-18 floors and each floor with 24 units. A very congested area with plenty of nice food there.
During the development of Rifle Range Flats more than 30 years ago, I believe that the Architects are unable to imagine that the one-room flat owners will own a car. Hence, they “forgot” to plan the carpark space there…. Hmm.. actually there are, there are about 10 car park places per block, but now become invisible being occupied by the hawkers. (I wonder what MPPP is doing? Issuing Hawker license for them to occupy the car park)
There are estimated 2856 house at Rifle Range Flats, if we take in 3 pax per house, then there are about 8568 pax staying at Rifle Range Flats. Assuming 10% of occupants own a car (actual number should be much much greater), then, there are about 856 cars at Rifle Range Flats, and this does not consider the visitor to the flat and hawker center.
Poor car owners have to use their creativity to park their car, occupy the rubbish bin area, occupy the side of the road, and any places which they can find. Our very responsible traffic police will come once in a while to make sure sufficient summons being issued.
Halooo…. Where shall the owner park their cars??? The politicians at that area will use CARPARK as one of the selling point to gain votes from the residents there. I heard of the promise about 20 years ago … although they have won the election for several time, but the promise still become empty promise.
Its ok lah, I tell myself, at least they have the same empty promise to be used for next election… or may be they really work very hard, but their proposal not accepted by the State leh …
Whoever or whichever the authorities are… please open your eyes and look at the situation there, please send some staff to move from their office chair to take a walk at Rifle Range, and please help the Residents at Rifle Range.
Whoever the party who want to win in next election, stop giving empty promises and empty hope, because, I have heard of your promise 20 years ago.
