Regarding the above, please take note.

The PISA complex at Penang got a lot of parking space. It is open to the public, and the parking is free.

However, every time when PC FAIR being held there, the parking is no longer free, for PISA management collect parking fees.

I am no lawyer, I don't know the law. However, I have a feeling that this thing is a little bit fishy.

A. PISA belongs to the Penang State government, and I am not sure if the PISA management has the right to collect parking fees from the public.

B. For the three days PC FAIR being held there, thousands of cars are parked there. The total amount of parking fees is in the tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of Ringgit. My question is: Who get the money?

C. PISA does rent out their space for events such as PC FAIR, but that is different from collecting parking fees from the public. The parking at PISA should be free, no matter if there is any big event such as PC FAIR being held there, because the entire complex belongs to the Penang people.

D. PC FAIR is supposed to be a "Free Admission Event". If the PISA management collects parking fees from the public, can PC FAIR still claim to be a "Free Admission Event"?

I hope the PC FAIR people can give us a satisfactory answer. I like PC FAIR, I go there every time I am in Penang, and I have bought a lot of things there ! However, I don't want anyone to take advantage of PC FAIR, and make money illegally.

Added on January 31, 2008, 10:45 pmYou guys at KL are lucky. We in Penang don't get to enjoy low yat.

Although we have that "tech place" at Prangin Mall, it is like a ghost town.

When I was in America, in almost every cities that I've been, they have tech flea-market at least once a month. All types of tech things, from PC to robots, from software to hardware, from new to old to antique tech items, all are there.

Why we don't have things like this in Malaysia ah?
