PROPERTY management practitioners want an open market and level playing field where the profession will be regarded as an open occupation based on competency, expertise and experience and not by mere legislation or purely by qualification.
According to Building Management Association of Malaysia (BMAM) president Datuk Teo Chiang Kok, if the proposed Bill to amend the Valuers, Appraisers and Estate Agents Act 1981 (VAEA) into the Valuers, Appraisers and Estate Agents (Amendment) Bill 2010 Act and changes pertaining to property management are to be passed, it will create an absolute exclusivity and monopoly for valuers to be the only ones allowed to undertake property management. Entrepreneurs who are now operating as managing agents will all have to wind up their businesses or become employees of valuers.
