KUCHING: The Kuching City South Council (MBKS) and Kuching North City Commission (DBKU) have announced a three-month contract extension for Kuching City Parking Systems Sdn Bhd (KCPS) to continue managing parking services in the city.
In a joint statement, the Council and the Commission said the extension, which takes effect from August 1, was part of a planned transition towards the introduction of a new smart parking system for the whole of Sarawak.
“MBKS and DBKU jointly announced a three-month contract extension for KCPS ahead of the appointment of new vendor by MBKS and DBKU for the development, operation and management of smart parking system for Greater Kuching.
“The successful incoming vendor will be required to implement a new system throughout Sarawak, featuring a mobile app and enhanced digital infrastructure aimed at improving user convenience and overall service efficiency,” they said.
The councils added that during the interim period, KCPS will continue its current operations without interruption, ensuring that public parking services remain stable and accessible while technical and operational preparations are completed for the new smart parking system.
“At present, both MBKS and DBKU have yet to implement the smart parking system, and the existing system currently managed by KCPS will remain in operation during this period.
“This means that conventional paper parking coupons will still be used during the transitional period,” they said.
MBKS and DBKU also expressed its appreciation to the public for their patience during the transitional phase and thanked the public for their continued support and understanding.
