Circular On Full Movement Control Order 3.0 (FMCO) For JMB & MC

Circular No.: 2021/009/0106

CIRCULAR ON FULL MOVEMENT CONTROL ORDER 3.0 (FMCO)

Dear Valued Members,

Following the Full Movement Control Order 3.0 (FMCO) implemented by the Government from 1 June 2021 to 14 June 2021, only Essential Services sector activities will be permitted to operate.

Although Property and Facility Management Services had been regarded as Essential Services by Ministry of Housing and Local Government, unfortunately the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) has not included it under their latest list of Essential Services under FMCO 3.0.

In the circumstances, it would appear that based on current restriction, unless property and facility management companies, Joint Management Bodies and Management Corporations, developer property management companies and managing agents are officially listed and recognised by MITI, it will not be possible to register with MITI to obtain approval.

It is with regret that until MITI recognises the importance of property and facility management service as Essential Services, more than 20,000 schemes and buildings, strata and non-strata, will be without any management nor maintenance staff today.

In the meantime, we understand that representatives of Ministry of Housing and Local Government will be meeting MITI officials to resolve the matter. We hope and pray to receive positive news soon. This information is only for our members' consumption and will be subject to further instruction from the Government.

Thank you and stay safe.

Warmest regards,
