Federal Court rules residents association can impose conditions on non-paying members

PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court dismissed an appeal by the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) seeking to overturn a Court of Appeal decision allowing the Parkville Residents Association (RA) to require non-paying members to operate boom gates themselves, without the assistance of security guards.

A. Surendra Ananth, one of the RA’s lawyers, told Bernama that MBPJ’s appeal was dismissed by a three-member bench comprising Justices Datuk Zabariah Mohd Yusof, Datuk Seri Hasnah Mohammed Hashim and Datuk Vazeer Alam Mydin Meera.
