PETALING JAYA:
The Shah Alam High Court has granted an interim injunction against a security firm, owned by a former top police officer, to stop its guards from entering the Armanee Terrace Condominium in Damansara, which had terminated the company’s contract.

According to the ex parte order, the guards from Ramli Security Sdn Bhd will have to leave the premises immediately after the order is served on them.

The order, handed down by judicial commissioner Elaine Yap, said none of the firm’s security guards or its representatives are permitted to enter the premises until the joint management committee’s originating summons against the firm is heard and disposed of.

The JMC’s lawyer, NG Vinod, confirmed the order and said it will be served on Ramli Security today. The firm is owned by former commercial crime investigation department director Ramli Yusuff.

The JMC and Ramli Security are embroiled in a tussle after the firm’s security contract was terminated on Dec 24 last year.

However, the firm continued to place its guards at the premises despite a new company taking over the job.

Following this, the JMC and a few condo owners filed police reports at the Damansara police headquarters against the security firm for trespassing as it continued to station its guards there.

Ramli Security claimed that it was waiting for the JMC to settle its dues, to which the JMC said it was willing to pay but no invoices had been received since November.

The firm sent the invoices two weeks ago but since they had a November date on them, the JMC requested them to be reissued with the latest dates, which the firm had not done so.

Petaling Jaya police chief Shahrulnizam Jaafar said the investigation paper into the alleged trespassing had been sent to the Attorney-General’s Chambers and they were awaiting instructions.
