I READ with dismay about a new parking system which was recently introduced by a shopping mall that offered VIP parking spaces for certain credit cards holders.

The rich can now park their luxury cars at this special car park, which is nearer to the entrance. Not having to park their cars in the “public” car park means they can worry less about the sort of crimes reported to have happened in such places.

The rich have comfortable rides to the mall and with one swipe of a card their safety is assured. Come rain or shine, they only need to walk a short distance to the entrance of the mall.

If shopping malls have extra space near their entrance that can be converted to parking spaces, wouldn’t it be better to reserve it for the disabled, pregnant women and the elderly?
