Miri Launches Electronic Parking Compound System

suppadmin | August 19, 2025

Miri City Council has officially launched its new electronic parking compound system, a move that Mayor Adam Yii described as not just a step towards digitalisation but also an important milestone in Miri’s vision of becoming a green, smart, and liveable international resort city.

According to Yii, enforcement officers will now be able to issue parking compounds instantly using handheld devices, with all data uploaded in real-time to the council’s central system. This ensures faster, more accurate, and environmentally friendly processing. Vehicle owners can also conveniently check and pay their compounds through the official “Borneo Park Miri” mobile application, without the need to queue at counters.

“Each electronic parking compound will carry verifiable details, including the council’s official logo, compound number, vehicle registration plate, vehicle model, time and location, and the type of offence. This ensures that compounds are legitimate, transparent, and traceable.

During the launch, the public will also be shown official samples of the compounds to prevent them from falling victim to scams or fake notices,” Yii explained.

He added that the system will first be piloted in Marina City Phases 1 and 2, before being gradually expanded across the city. Efficient parking management, he stressed, plays a vital role in ensuring smooth traffic flow, fair use of public spaces, and the reduction of paper usage in line with green city goals.

“This initiative not only makes things more convenient for the public but also enhances enforcement transparency, reduces operating costs, and provides valuable data for future urban planning. I want to thank the Miri City Council team and our partner, BPS, for their commitment in making this possible,” Yii said.

He urged Miri residents to familiarise themselves with the new system and to help spread awareness so that more people can benefit from it. “Together, we can make parking management in Miri smarter, greener, and fairer,” he concluded.
