Wardens gave summons but were themselves guilty of same offence
ON OCT 2 at 9.53pm, I received a summons for 'parking other than in a parking lot'.

While the summons was admittedly deserved, I noticed that there were two scooters which were parked just as indiscriminately as my vehicle but were not summoned.

In what was an ironic twist, I later came to realise that those two scooters belonged to the very wardens who had earlier booked me for 'parking other than in a parking lot'.

When confronted, one of the wardens refused to let me know his name, saying I could always see his name on his name tag (which was totally covered by his jacket), and rode away hurriedly.

I feel that to have the moral authority to summon others, these wardens should maintain a standard that is beyond reproach, especially in an area that they were supposed to be knowledgeable in.

The wardens are from United Premas Ltd and their scooter number plates are FW9047P and FW9429X.
