The management of condominium and residential complexes has the right to require residents to submit to Covid-19 tests and bar those who fail to comply, Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said today.
He said this at a press conference when asked about the requirement set by the management of several condominiums recently.
"Yes, they can. To ensure the safety of residents, the management of condominium or apartments can make such rules.
"We do not stop them. Although there is no such policy made by the National Security Council, we do not prohibit condos or any residential areas from issuing such orders to protect their residents," he said.
It was reported that the management of several condominiums has made it mandatory for their tenants to get a Covid-19 test.
However, several experts had reportedly said the management bodies have no legal rights to do so.
Such a move has also been condemned by public health experts interviewed by Malaysiakini, who said that it does not help to curb the coronavirus. - Mkini
