Three men aged between 20 and 26 were arrested on August 16 following a confrontation in which a 38-year-old woman was punched in the head, verbally abused, and threatened near OUG Community Hall in Jalan Awan Besar, Kuala Lumpur [1, 2, 3]. The assault occurred during a dispute over the collection of illegal parking fees on a vacant plot next to the community hall.
The woman reported the incident to Kuala Lumpur police at 2:38 pm on August 15, 2026 [1, 3]. The suspects, who have prior criminal records, are being investigated under Sections 506 and 323 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation and voluntarily causing hurt [1, 2, 3].
The first suspect was remanded for three days from August 16 to 18, while the other two were remanded for one day each [1, 2, 3]. Authorities from Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and the Federal Territories Director of Lands and Mines Office had previously taken enforcement action at the site but the illegal fee collection continued [1].
Seputeh Member of Parliament Teresa Kok highlighted the issue by sharing footage showing the illegal parking fee collector ignoring a cease notice issued on August 4. The footage also showed the suspect allegedly assaulting an enforcement officer [1].
DBKL had issued the official cease notice on August 4, ordering a stop to the illegal parking fee collection [1]. Despite this, the unauthorized activity persisted on the vacant land beside OUG Community Hall where no permission was granted by land authorities [1].
Police continue their investigation into the assault and threats connected to illegal parking fees in the area.
