The Malaysian Security Industry Association (PIKM) has voiced its support for the Home Ministry's prosecution of a couple operating a security business without a valid license. PIKM President Datuk Mohammad Ubaidillah Enam highlighted the risks posed by unlicensed security companies, including employing undocumented workers who have not undergone security screening. He emphasized that such practices compromise security standards, damage the industry's reputation, and create unfair competition for licensed firms. PIKM pledged to collaborate with authorities to combat unlicensed operations and urged the government to strengthen the Private Agencies Act 1971 to allow legal action against both unlicensed providers and clients who engage their services.
The Malaysia n Security Industry Association has backed the Home Ministry’s Enforcement and Control Division’s prosecution of a couple offering security services without a valid licence.
“These companies often employ illegal immigrants who have not undergone any security screening before being hired. In addition to security concerns, he said unlicensed companies often provide services at lower prices than licensed firms because they are not subject to the regulations and operational costs required of legitimate service providers.
He said enforcing action against unlicensed service providers is essential to ensure public safety and compliance with the law in the security industry.
