CIRCONTROL inaugurates first women parking guiding system in South East Asia

Authorities in Kuala Lumpur are making compulsory for all shopping malls and commercial buildings to set aside seven per cent of carpark space for women only. Women driving alone or with young children unaccompanied by men can opt to park in sections of carparks that are specially allocated to women.

The women-only carpark is an initiative undertaken by the Kuala Lumpur city hall to further enhance safety and security of women drivers in parking lots.

KLCC Suria, the leading shopping mall located at the Petronas Twin Towers, has launched women-only parking lots, being the first in South East Asia.Watch the video on the Channel News Asia website.
