Hi! That’s a good question coz the signboards are sometimes quite obscure, written only in Bahasa Melayu(on hindsight, we should have mentioned this in the video) and many times they only place a single board for a huge parking area. So when we can’t see a sign board, we will use the parking app to detect the location area or road name. We will then tap on the indicated location, select whether we want to pay hourly or daily and the app will show the amount of parking fee required. Also rule of the thumb is, unless you are parking in a private estate area, shopping mall or prepaid parking, it is always safer to assume that the open air parking lot requires payment. It can be quite tricky at times coz we did encounter a situation before where the area used to be free parking(the Nanyang street area at Mount Austin)but after about a year, we were told that now parking payment is required via the MBJB Spot app. So we will just pay for parking with the apps whenever we are at any public parking space that’s not within a private development or shopping mall. Just to play safe. Hope this helps and have a blessed Sunday!😊
Great sharing! TQ
