New rules for armed guards will increase costs, say security firms

PETALING JAYA: Pri­vate security companies, reacting to news of fresh requirements by the Government for armed bodyguards, say the move would result in higher costs to them.

Former Selangor police chief Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah, who runs a security firm, said upgrading skills through training was alright but companies would incur a higher expenditure.
