“We cannot rush with the shifting since we are looking out for a fully equipped building with ample parking space to save our employees from the additional financial burden. As soon as we find the ideal premises, we will move out,” Al Eter pointed out.

Al Eter agrees that the parking menace has had a psychological impact on the minds of the employees who are forever worried about renewing their parking tickets on an hourly basis. Their output has been affected since the parking problem is playing all the time at the back of the minds of most employees.
