If you think that parking in a landed estate is both convenient and free, you might want to think again and perhaps explore some other avenues for parking.

That is because some roads in Singapore are private roads - as with Jalan Mas Puteh in Clementi, for example.

One driver who parked there recently returned to find his vehicle clamped by frustrated residents, who then demanded that he pay $500 to have it released.

He vented his anger on Stomp, questioning the right of the residents to target his car.

Wrote STOMPer K:

"This happened at Jalan Mas Puteh at about 7.45pm on August 3.

"I parked my car in front of this terrace house as I went to collect my food from one restaurant that I had made a phone order from.

"As it was a busy Saturday, my food took longer then usual.

"About 15 minutes later, I walked back to my car and I noticed it had been wheel-clamped.
