[quote=\"Imami\"]I heard car park wardens have some form of quota to meet Ie the number of summons issued. Perhaps that why tp are seemingly nicer?

Imami, this myth was highlighted on yesterday's ST...

It's not true, there is no quota or commission on summons that this wardens issued.

They say no quota or commission, but they never say if it is part of KPI. Have to read very carefully nowadays, you know. Otherwise may fail PSLE comprehension. [/quote] :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :goodpost:

[quote=\"LOLMum\"]So would you argue with the warden, call him names or just accept it?

If I am really in the wrong, there are only 2 things I can do. One cannot make a clear wrong right, can he/she?
1. Ack the mistake and ask for a chance to repent without having to pay the price and give a valid reason why the mistake was committed.
2. If not possible, accept the mistake and learn from it.

If the case is debatable and the warden refuses to listen, write in and furnish all the facts lor....beat people up for what.... everyone is a precious someone to somebody and this person is just earning a living by doing his/her job.

Think no KPI coz mostly outsourced contracts. Basically, whoever won the contract will have to prove to hdb that their workers no skiving so 'output' is very important.

Yes, TP are nicer. I also feel that traffic wardens of the past, like 5-10 yr ago also nicer. Then, they would walk around the car, look around to see if anyone rushing up to the car first, then take out pen and paper to write summon. And, like Imami, you rush up to the warden in time to plead your case, they would just give a stern warning.

Now, the wardens seem to just su kak, su kak issue summon, then say not happy go appeal lor! I was issued with a summon for parking in front of the yellow line. Call up to complain and was told that cannot park 6m in front of the yellow line! My friend who owns a convenience store was summoned for parking in the loading and unloading bay by her shop! She had just unloaded some goods to the shop and was already returning to the car when the warden came. She asked the warden why summon, and the warden said because no one was in the car!
I think there will be fewer incidences of violence towards traffice wardens if they were nicer. most of us will accept that we have to pay a fine if we genuinely violated the traffic rules. Yes, the rules say \" ...\" but the people who enforce the rules should try to temper justice with mercy, and season it with humor.
That, I feel, is where Singapore is now heading dangerously towards. Take for example, that newly opened New Zealand restaurant whose staff spontaneously broke into the Hakka dance on the sidewalk outside its shop. Yes, there are rules that you cannot hold a public performance without prior approval. Yes, they probably did plan some stunt, ... but, ... Oh, you know, a little bit of leeway should be allowed.

You violated traffic rules what more do you want to say?

If rules are not enforced, what is the point of setting rules? Like have non-smoking rule and yet everyone smoking everywhere.. obviously NEA or ENV not doing their job.

Leeway should be given only in real emergencies.. not to be abused. By violating traffic rules, some way or the other, you are potentially causing inconvenience to others, do you realize that? rules are there for a reason.

For your friend's case, is the engine on or off? if no driver, means it is being parked (even for 1 min).. no excuses.

Why some pple just cannot learn to abide by the rules..

If you get away, it's a bonus, if not, just suck it up.. why blame the wardens doing their job?

[limlim]

mercy? Yes, but only when JUSTIFIED…


e.g. handicapped dropping off at loading/unloading bay, emergencies etc…

But... but.... but... if engine not off, kena summon for leaving engine on while idling. But I think got solution. Just employ another worker to sit in the vehicle lor.
