How to deal with car clamping under MCST

How to work with car clamping


The clamping of car is usually found under the bylaw in an estate.  It must be pass as bylaw before it can be enforced.

Guideline:

·        Follow the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)/Key Performance Indicator (KPI)
·        Provide warning before and after clamping
·        Allows appeal for clamping
·        Clamping happy hurts SP relation
·        Only clamp when the car is park where it is causing inconvenience and affecting the whole estate. Example: park in the middle of the road.  Park double parking space.  Something too obvious and irresponsible parking.


Additional Note:

Clamping appeal should be done by a workgroup setup if it happen frequently and have them submit their recommendation so that it won’t waste too much time in the monthly council meeting.

Clamping may be adapted by each council in the govern estates; however, it may violate the right of the SP if clamping is not done appropriately. 

The best way to challenge this if you fail at the appeal then another option is to take it directly to Strata-title Board (STB).  It has never been proven that any estate can legally setup by law that allow clamping in an estates.  This by law on clamping maybe in violation of the legal right of SP but can only proven once it is challenge in STB.   It will cost you only $500 to present this case directly in Singapore.

 Council members has the same right as any residents.  Council members knowingly illegally park in any area may be treated as abuse of power which maybe take up by Strata-title board and CPIB.

What is encroachment under MCST
