More than 150 guarded communities yet to register with MBPJ

Only 32 residential areas in Petaling Jaya have registered their “guarded community” schemes with the local authority despite the Federal Court ruling on March 25 that boom gates and guardhouses were legal structures for security purposes.

A check with the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) Engineering Department revealed that there are 181 areas recorded as having set up guarded communities.
