APPRECIATION CEREMONY FOR PARKING MANAGEMENT 2025

IPOH, 30 APRIL 2026 – Ipoh City Council (MBI) today celebrated staff directly involved in parking management through the Appreciation Ceremony for Parking Management 2025 held at Niffayi, Ipoh. 

The ceremony was officiated by Ipoh Mayor Zamakhshari Hanipah as a gesture of appreciation to all parties who have played an important role in ensuring that parking services in Ipoh City were implemented smoothly, efficiently and effectively. 

According to him, parking services around Ipoh City have been fully managed and supervised by the Council for more than 30 years. Throughout that period, various changes and improvements have been implemented in line with technological developments, current needs and the wishes of the urban community. 

The transformation of parking management in Ipoh has gone through a long evolution, beginning with the use of parking meters, then the parking coupon system, and now entering the digitalisation era via the use of the Park@Perak smart application. 

The implementation of this transformation not only improved operational efficiency, but also facilitated user affairs, strengthened monitoring system and improved the Council’s revenue collection in a more systematic and transparent manner. 

For 2025, MBI recorded a very encouraging revenue collection performance with parking collection of RM21.3 million, while compound collection totalled RM9 million. This brought the overall parking management revenue collection for 2025 to RM30.3 million. 

The amount shows an overall increase of RM4.7 million compared to the previous year. 

This achievement is the result of the effectiveness of the management system implemented, firmness in enforcement aspects, continuous monitoring and the strong commitment of staff involved in daily operations. 

Even more impressive, MBI also succeeded in achieving its revenue collection target set for 2030 earlier than expected, i.e., RM30.3 million. 

The Mayor of Ipoh said that this success proves that major targets can be achieved when all staff work together as a team with high discipline, integrity and determination. 

He also stressed that this achievement should not make staff complacent, but instead be a spirit booster to continue to strengthen the existing system, expand the use of smart technology, improve service delivery quality and ensure that parking management in Ipoh City remains relevant, efficient and user-friendly. 

At the same time, MBI would like to express its appreciation to all Department Heads, officers and staff of the Council who have shown high dedication, commitment and professionalism in carrying out the entrusted tasks. 

The contributions of all parties have been enormous in ensuring that this proud achievement can be realised. 

MBI hopes that the positive work culture, team spirit and commitment to excellence will continue to be maintained in order to improve the quality of services to the city residents. 

The Ipoh City Council also extends its congratulations and thanks to all parties involved in parking management for 2025, and hopes that all efforts and dedicated services rendered will continue to bring greater success to MBI and the residents of Ipoh City as a whole.
