A man was criticised for citing Chinese New Year (CNY) as an excuse for illegal parking under an HDB block in Teck Ghee.<\/p>\n
In a Facebook post uploaded by user Mohd Fendi<\/a><\/span> on Feb 18, the man behind the camera was heard saying in Mandarin: “It’s CNY Day 1. Everyone visiting their families get summoned.”<\/p>\n The clip, which has since drawn over 1,300 likes, 370 shares, and 98 comments, showed a parking warden issuing tickets to a row of cars parked along double yellow lines beneath an HDB block.<\/p>\n In the video, the man repeatedly claims that the incident happened in Teck Ghee, but stops short of mentioning the exact location.<\/p>\n “Eh it’s New Year, why no give chance? Here is Teck Ghee leh,” the man said in English.<\/p>\n He then approached the officer, who glanced at him, while saying: “All the drivers kena. Don’t worry, I will complain you!”<\/p>\n Many netizens criticised the man for seemingly using CNY as an excuse for illegal parking.<\/p>\n “CNY can do whatever you like?” one user questioned.<\/p>\n Some highlighted the double yellow lines, noting that parking is not allowed. “Illegal parking means illegal parking. Not about CNY or whatever,” another wrote.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, others questioned the significance of Teck Ghee, wondering what was so notable about the location.<\/p>\n Several also defended the traffic officer, saying he was simply “doing his job.”<\/p>\n Stomp has reached out to the Land Transport Authority for comment.<\/p>\n Have something to say?
