SANDAKAN: Following discussions on the coupon parking system in this district, the Sandakan Municipal Council (SMC) has agreed to lower the monthly parking fees and exempt fees for two satellite towns - Bandar Maju and Bandar Tyng.
Deputy President of SMC, Mohd Hamsan Awang Supain, said the Council agreed to decrease the monthly parking fees from RM80 to RM50 following appeals by the public.

“Decreasing it to RM50 means the Sandakan monthly parking fee is cheaper than in Kota Kinabalu.
“It is because the collection of RM50 include the RM3 for Sales and service Tax while in KK, consumers have to pay RM53,” he said to media, Wednesday.
Hamsan said consumers who had earlier bought the RM80 monthly parking fee coupon may use it for additional 15 days after the expiry date.
“They will be able to buy the RM50 monthly parking coupon starting Oct 1.

“From 11 satellite towns, now only nine will implement parking fees as these two towns had not been surrendered fully by its developers to SMC.
