WE refer to the letter by Mr Ng Shu Tsung published by The Star on Aug 28 under the headline “Bothered by pushy agents”. We fully empathise with him, as this is a common complaint from property owners. At a recent Malaysian Institute of Estate Agents (MIEA) public outreach CSR programme – these are organised by the MIEA every month – a question about such “soliciting” was raised.
Here I would like to note two main points: First, that the MIEA is an association and we can only advice members to adhere to our 10-point code of ethics through our training and imbue our members with professionalism so they will refrain from such negative actions.
