MBPJ gets leave to appeal decision on boom gates in favour of RA


PUTRAJAYA: The Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) has obtained leave from the Federal Court to appeal against a Court of Appeal decision that a residents' association (RA) in the city council area's move to impose a condition for non-paying members to operate boom gates themselves without the assistance of security guards was lawful.

A three-member bench comprising Chief Judge of Malaya Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah and Federal Court judges Nallini Pathmanathan and Abdul Karim Abdul Jalil granted the leave to MBPJ on Thursday (Oct 11).
