PETALING JAYA: A dispute has arisen between the joint management committee (JMC) of a condominium and a security firm, which is refusing to vacate the premises even after its services have been terminated.
The firm has continued to station its guards at the location despite the JMC hiring another company to take over security duties.
This prompted members of the Armanee Terrace Condominium’s JMC to lodge a police report at the Damansara police station on Monday (Jan 6).
JMC chairman Parveen Sindhu told reporters after filing the report that Ramli Security Sdn Bhd was causing chaos on the premises.
"We already have a new security company working, so there are now two sets of guards from two different companies. Ramli Security’s guards are interfering with the new security company’s work as they are still occupying the guardhouse," Sindhu alleged.
Sindhu claimed that residents had lodged multiple police reports since Dec 24, but no action had been taken by the authorities.
She added that, as property unit owners, the residents had the right to decide who was allowed on the premises.
"We are hitting a brick wall now as we do not know what to do or how to remove them," said Sindhu.
She explained that the contract with the security company was on a month-to-month basis and the JMC decided not to renew it due to dissatisfaction with the services.
Ramli Security was unavailable for comment at the time of reporting.
