It is a nightmare trying to find a parking lot anywhere within Petaling Jaya New Town centre (Section 52) during business hours. The nightmare becomes ghastly if you are looking for a disabled parking lot - you won't find any! Despite the convenience of doing e-banking transactions from home there are occasions when you have to physically present yourself at the bank. Disabled persons and the elderly have banking needs too. But after driving (or being driven) to the bank, when you are stuck in a traffic conjestion alongside double-parkers with no hope of finding a lot can be most frustrating. Understanding our predicament (and not wanting to lose their valued customers) Maybank at New Town (Jalan 52/4) provides what I call "street banking" by sending its staff to attend to the disabled or elderly customer in their cars. Of course you have to make a call to them first and give your location. This is most inconvenient and what will happen if it rains? A permanent solution to this problem lies with Petaling Jaya City Council to provide parking lots for the disabled.
