AFTER AMBANK KILLING, ANOTHER SECURITY FIASCO FOR ZAHID: Woman molested by guard but condo doesn’t know who he is

AFTER AMBANK KILLING, ANOTHER SECURITY FIASCO FOR ZAHID: Woman molested by guard but condo doesn’t know who he is
KUALA LUMPUR - MCA Public Services and Complaints Department chairman Datuk Michael Chong has taken the management of a condominium in Pandan Indah to task for not vetting its security guard.
Chong said the neglect by the management of Le Jardine Condominium had resulted in a young girl being molested by a guard who had worked there for only about a week.
Cosmetic student Wong Kwan Yee, 21, was molested by the guard on the afternoon of Dec 27 last year.
She was about to walk out from the lift on the sixth floor when the guard covered her mouth with his hands from behind and tried to pull her into the lift.
The guard, who was wearing a security vest and sunglasses, had entered the lift with her at the ground floor.
Wong said she suspected something amiss when the guard did not press any floor.
“I started to take the extra precaution of standing behind him in the lift.
“When the lift door opened, I gestured at him to walk out first, but he did not move,” she told reporters at a press conference by Chong at Wisma MCA today.
Wong managed to put up a strong struggle to break free and fell to the ground just outside the lift.
The suspect tried to pull her in again, but she screamed for help. A resident cooking in her condo unit near the lift came out to see what the commotion was about.
The guard, on seeing the resident, fled into a nearby staircase.
Wong suffered minor bruises and some bleeding in her mouth as a result of the struggle.
Wong later lodged a report at the Pandan Indah police station. She described the suspect as having a dark complexion and being well built.
Chong said the management, when confronted by a resident on the incident, failed to produce any details of the suspect.
“The management could only give the informal name of the suspect, who was known as ‘Dan’ or ‘Dal’.
“They said the suspect had been working there on the recommendation of his relative, who was one of the tenants.
“The management also had not installed any closed-circuit television camera (CCTV) in the lift.”
Chong expressed anger at the management for failing to adhere to warnings by the police and government to be careful in hiring guards.
He said it was clear that the management did not follow the standard operating procedures in hiring the guard, which could had led to Wong being raped or killed if she had not put up a struggle.
“Even if the guard was not fully trained, the person should at least be vetted by checking his MyKad details.
“Without any details, it would be difficult to track them down, especially after they commit an offence.”
On another note, Chong said that the nationality of guards was not an issue as long as they followed government regulations.
It was reported last year that starting Sept 1, all security firms must screen applicants for guards by checking their MyKad with the National Registration Department.
The move was to prevent the hiring of illegal workers and those using fake MyKad. It was also to improve the quality of guards.
Only Malaysians or Nepalese are allowed to work as guards in the country, following rules and regulations set by the Housing and Local Government Ministry in 2010.
Last year, Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was reported as saying that 659 guards, out of 65 security firms audited between Sept 1, 2013 and June 23, 2014, were found to be illegal immigrants.
Eight security firms had their licences cancelled while 25 others received warnings for various offences, including the hiring of foreign workers without valid work permits. - http://www.therakyatpost.com/
