“We are confident with the mitigation plan, public feedback and strong collaboration with the local councils and Penang State Government, the Penang Smart Parking Project will meet its overall planned deadline and be completed by July 2020,” said the statement issued by the company’s corporate communications department.

As for the unavailability of the Smart Parking application for Android devices, they said their team are working diligently on it. The company was supposed to have installed 647 sensors in George Town and 350 in Seberang Perai by August 18 but so far had only installed 30 in George Town. The Penang state government, MBPP and MPSP did not incur any capital or operational expenditures on it, they said.

Many took to social media to complain over the faulty system while some demanded that action be taken against the contractor.
