Warmest greetings from the Editorial Team.
So, we have reached the 3rd quarter of 2010. Metro Parking continues to put up strong results, while constantly improving our level of services from time to time.

On other aspects, we have organized family days for Central Region and Southern Region recently. The days were full of fun-filled activities.

As the fasting month is around the corner, I am pleased to wish all Muslim staff “ Selamat Berpuasa” and hope that we live the Ramadhan with patience and serenity. “Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri”, after a month of fasting, it is time for celebration during “Aidilfitri” The Editor

NOTE FROM THE GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR My Dear Colleagues, Welcome to the 3rd quarter of the year 2010. It has been quite a hectic and memorable experience for all of us. The achievement of various awards will not be materialised without the hard work, commitment and teamwork projected and engaged by the Board, management and staff. This can be reflected through the firm contracts of new car parks by our Business Development Team. The momentum and zeal demonstrated must not be slowed down. We must continue in the remaining quarter that we have in breaking new barriers and grounds. The push factor is within us and let us not relax before realising a new height has been set when we close the chapter of 2010. I am also pleased to take this opportunity to wish all our Muslim Staff “ Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri� and if you are driving back to your respective hometowns please practice safety and be extra careful whilst you are on the road Halmi
