Law enforcers breaking the law


I was in Bukit Bintang area last Saturday morning and I drove pass this truck while looking for a legitimate parking near KL Plaza. What I don't understand is why does a truck from DBKL parked on a walkway? Is that walkway made specially for DBKL truck to park?

It's not really like life-and-death situation that these law enforcer were in anyway. You can see these men in uniform were just chatting around and take a peek at who was walking by. And this person in the second picture below was forced to walk on the roadside instead of the walkway, away from the truck, possibly to avoid any potential accident coming from the truck.

Are there any provisions in the local by-law that allows DBKL to be exempted from 'any' laws while on 'official duty'? Is this a case where the priority of discharging 'official duty' are placed above the law? And now I know why 10 out of 11 parliamentary seats in the city are from the opposition parties. The public is just frustrated with DBKL inefficiencies!!
