I heard a lot of complaints from my friends about the difficulty to find parking in Publika, especially some of their friends who are working in the office blocks there. They are literally fuming and flustered with the parking issue there. First, it's difficult to find parking and second, it's so expensive to park there. And now with the newly revised rates, my friends' friends are starting to look for a different jobs because they unable to cope with the high cost of working there.
I was wondering how bad it was until I saw the post which was shared on the Publika Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/PublikaGallery/posts/991825644181136. Well, fortunately, I no longer working there. Even before they increase the price, I really couldn't afford to work there long term... It's a bad move for me, I did not do my homework thoroughly before I signed the dotted line of my appointment letter. I will never wanna go back there again, unless... well, hmmm... if my friends wanna meet up there for meals, then perhaps I will go there... Otherwise, Publika will never be in my To-Go list...
I feel sorry for the tenants working there. With this economy, and everything has increased in price (toll hike, parking hike, GST, public transportation hike, etc), I guess we really have to scrimp on our spending drastically...
