A representative of the residents, Dzulhilman Sulaiman, claimed that the JMB had awarded a maintenance contract worth RM3.3 million without a proper tender process to an unqualified company that had not been audited since 2013.

He said the residents of the 200-unit condominium complex pay between RM800 and RM2,000 in monthly maintenance fees, with calculations based on the size of their residences.

Dzulhilman said questions arose after it was revealed during an annual general meeting last December that the value of the contract was higher than the actual cost involved.

The company in question is also believed to be linked to certain individuals within the JMB.

“The tender is related to the repair, landscaping and maintenance of the condominium, but the actual costs involved are not as high as quoted. Therefore, we are requesting an investigation into the company involved.

“We are dissatisfied, which is why we came to MACC today to submit the evidence we have gathered regarding the JMB’s misconduct and breach of trust,” he told reporters after filing the complaint at MACC’s office in Putrajaya.

Dzulhilman’s report follows allegations of a “JMB cartel” linked to a DAP representative, his special officer and another individual who are accused of interfering in the appointments in the JMB leadership and the joint management corporation.

Dzulhilman claimed that during the last general meeting, the residents had agreed to terminate the JMB’s contract due to various reasons.

“Several members have resigned out of frustration. Although we agreed to replace the JMB, the transition process has yet to begin.

“The JMB took the matter to the Housing and Strata Management Tribunal and lost. They have since brought the case to the High Court, delaying the transition process,” he said.
