Exorbitant parking rates!

Parking Rate Card
Did anyone have any comments on parking rates – especially those around Klang Valley? Since my office has been for the past many years, located in the golden triangle of Kuala Lumpur, I have noticed that the parking rates here are high rising. One of them where I am parking now…used to be RM3 per entry (3 years ago) and is now RM5.50.
And talking about per entry, does it really mean per ONE entry? What if I park my car there for 3 days, still it is considered per entry right? (Comments are welcomed at the comments section below).
Ok, I have to complain about this particular parking in a high-rise building in downtown KL.
Scenario:
Ticket stamp entry at 16:45 = 4.45pm.
When inserted into ticket machine, machine stamp exit at 17:42 = 5.42pm.
That’s 3 mins to 1 hour right? And I did enter before 5pm right?
Ticket stamp entry at 16:45 = 4.45pm.
When inserted into ticket machine, machine stamp exit at 17:42 = 5.42pm.
That’s 3 mins to 1 hour right? And I did enter before 5pm right?
Question: How much should I pay for the parking?
The machine shows RM5.00!!!!! Being in and out of this building quite often recently, I knew I have to exit before 1 hour to avoid the exorbitant charge (I exited 4 mins late the other day and was charged RM4 extra that equates to RM1 per minute…sigh!) but alas, rushing to exit has no effect… I think the machine overcharge me RM3! Complaining to the guards and staff there is to no avail, one pointing to another, and the final one who answers says “after 5pm, charge is RM3” – but hellooo…. I ENTER BEFORE 5pm!!
Secure Parking, if you read this; please relook at your machine programming!
Dent Repair (DR) or Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is a unique method of removing dents or humps from cars without paint re-spraying. The original paint of the car is maintained. It specializes in removing small dents or humps using tool kits that are specially designed for this purpose. The tool kits are used to locate the exact spot on the dent or hump and then using the right method to remove it. 
The warm and humid tropical climate in Malaysia and the rest of the Southeast Asian region, creates prime breeding ground for harmful bacterial, yeast and viral organisms. This can aggravate allergies of the sinus, skin and eyes, as well as particularly increase the risk of contagious air-borne diseases such as tuberculosis and SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome).
See here to find out how it works really. 
The Prius’s main contender is the Civic Hybrid, a more quotidian approach to economical hybrid transportation. In rendering the hybrid more aerodynamic, Honda also made it one of the better-looking Civic offerings, more likely to appeal to those who don’t need to wear their environmentalism on their lapel — although this might be part of the reason it hasn’t seen nearly the sales success of the Prius. The Civic Hybrid drives more like a regular car than the competition, is a more responsive handler and is a touch less sluggish. The Civic’s hybrid system is simple and compact but doesn’t deliver quite the miserly numbers of the Prius.
A small sum of money gets you a Lilliputian car that returns the third-best fuel mileage of any vehicle here. The Smart Fortwo delivers solidly on its niche-market promise. It’s the ultimate urban vehicular solution as defined by stylish cachet, excellent fuel economy and — by virtue of being the smallest — being also the biggest gun in the parking wars. Your mileage may vary; ours did, with an average of four fewer mpg than the EPA’s combined number. Given that the Fortwo is the slowest-accelerating passenger vehicle in the country (say a Hail Mary before merging onto a freeway), a lead foot, with a resulting impact in fuel economy, is practically a safety requirement.
The Altima Hybrid is sold only in California and in the seven Eastern states that share the California Air Resources Board’s air-quality statutes, which is a shame because it delivers hybrid efficiency in a stylish, pleasurable-to-drive sedan. The Altima Hybrid delivers similar fuel economy numbers to those of the Camry Hybrid, which isn’t surprising considering Nissan licensed Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive for the effort. Paired with Nissan’s 2.5-liter gasoline engine, the Altima Hybrid returns performance numbers better than the standard model. It delivers on its sporty looks and design-forward interior with a fun, enthusiastic chassis and precise steering. If the name “Camry” makes your inner rebel cringe, you’d do well to consider the Altima Hybrid.
Yellow paintbrush-wielding New York cabbies can’t be wrong. The Toyota Camry Hybrid is good at moving passengers economically and without drama. Unlike the Altima Hybrid, you can buy the Camry Hybrid nationwide. Hybridization did nothing to impact the virtues that make the Camry an award-winning, family-hauling appliance: laudable road manners, quiet and comfortable operation and a highly competent overall experience. Stepping up to the hybrid also begets stability control and the top-of-the-line XLE interior package, minus leather seats.
The TDI, as equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, shines in highway driving, returning fuel economy on par with the air-hockey-table-sized Smart Fortwo. Diesel currently outpaces gasoline prices by about 20 percent, but the TDI betters the fuel economy of the next-thriftiest Jetta model by more than 30 percent. The SportWagen, although slightly more expensive than the sedan (pricing starts at $24,240), suffers no penalty in fuel economy. It offers more luggage volume than the Prius with just slightly less passenger volume while being good-looking and offering a driving experience that won’t approximate the work of an anesthesiologist. Both aesthetically and dynamically, the diesel-sipping Jetta TDI is engineered to be enjoyed by the user, not just employed.
The lone American ranger in this group is the Ford Escape Hybrid, the roughest and tumblin’-est vehicle here, if mostly by posture. Refreshed for 2009, the Escape addresses many of the issues that made it an almost unacceptable compromise, including the anemic performance, punishing ride and poor brake feel. The stronger four-cylinder now boasts 177 horsepower in addition to its hybrid-electric drive; the revised suspension system includes a rear anti-roll bar; and the brakes feel something like normal. The Escape is a hybrid SUV with solid moves at an affordable price for which no excuses need be made. Although an official fuel economy rating has yet to be obtained for the new model, not much change is expected from 2008.
It’s a happy day for consumers when one of the most-fuel-efficient vehicles sold is also one of the cheapest. The Yaris isn’t even too much of a slowpoke, scampering to 60 mph in fewer than nine seconds. If the petite Yaris seems more quirky than masculine, it’s because it was designed for markets where gas has always been expensive and where people say things like sauve qui peut. Those hoping for Lotus Elise–like reflexes or Gatsby-esque luxury will be disappointed, but those without champagne expectations will enjoy a plush ride and solid build quality. Despite a short wheelbase, the Yaris can transport deceptively large quantities of cargo.
It’s not surprising that a small car designed and manufactured by 
We crowned the Honda Fit the best of seven inexpensive people movers in a recent comparison test because it makes us smile as few cars this affordable or stingy on gas can. Mini-minivan styling might not seduce the vain, but the upshot to odd proportions is oodles of usable space — this thing is like a clown’s bottomless suitcase. You’ll need to mate a five-speed manual transmission to the Fit’s 1.5-liter engine for the best mileage, but this is something you’ll want to do, anyway, if you view cloverleaves as opportunities rather than nuisances. In Sport form, the Fit serves up similar fun and more passenger and cargo room than either the MINI Cooper or Clubman, for almost $4000 less.
