"It's a trap for many people who are not aware of this. This is a trap and daily people sure 'kena' clamp if they parked here. They should paint it in black to erase the white lines," they said in the Facebook post.

When asked whether this new rule will be implemented in all of KL, she responded, "I'm not so sure."
