If you’re a driver like me, there are a few things you can’t stand about driving in Singapore.
- That dumb S-shaped course in the driving test. (It’s a test designed by a sociopath)
- Drivers who refuse to give way, especially in heavy traffic jams
- Expensive parking
If you’ve driven in certain other countries, you’d feel a little something foreign in your body that you’ve never felt in sunny Singapore: freedom.
In certain countries, parking is not only cheap but readily available everywhere.
But Singapore is a tiny country where space is limited, so drivers have to pay for the space they take up, especially if they’re parking at shopping malls.
Or do they?
Shopping malls are almost always crowded with humans in Singapore. But due to the Covid-19 outbreak, many popular malls have turned into ghost towns.
I mean, even Jewel Changi is emptier than my bank account.
That’s why CapitaLand is now offering free parking at 15 of their malls.

Yes, I know the image’s small which is why I’ve arranged and typed out the car parks earlier.
If you’re a cheapskate like me, you should definitely take advantage of this free parking while it lasts.
Head down to these malls and grab lunch with your family or have a night shopping spree with your friends!
Reader Bao: But I scared of COVID-19
Well, thanks to people like you, “free parking” is no longer an oxymoron in Singapore.
