PETALING JAYA: Unemployed Malaysians who are healthy may consider becoming security guards, says the Security Industry Association of Malaysia (PIKM). “Rather than looking at hardships, the association would like to urge those who are healthy and willing to work as security guards to engage with the association,” he said in a statement on Tuesday (June 22). Ramli said this in reference to a story that The Star carried on June 15, where a former security guard in Melaka became homeless after losing his job as a security guard when the company he worked for wound up due to the pandemic. “As for PIKM members, this is a time when security companies need to be flexible and compassionate. PIKM represents 900 security companies licensed by the Home Ministry.
