Security company gives Jamal 14 days to settle debt or vehicles will be auctioned.
- Four vehicles seized from car dealership believed to be linked to Jamal
- Failed to pay for security services rendered by a company where he previously was a small shareholder
- Outstanding fees of RM56k from 2014
- With legal costs and interests, amount now RM200k
A security firm seized four cars owned by a company selling used imported vehicles, believed to be linked to Datuk Seri Jamal Md Yunos today.
The four vehicles – two Toyota Wish multi-purpose vehicles, a Toyota Vellfire and a Ssangyong Actyon sports utility vehicle – were seized around noon from a car dealership in Sungai Buloh.
Seizure of the vehicles was done after the company obtained a court order from the Shah Alam Magistrate’s Court issued on Oct 5 after Jamal failed to pay outstanding fees for security services rendered.
A spokesperson from the company, Anirass Gaya Security Services, said that they had business deals with Jamal in the past.
Staff at the car dealership who wished to remain anonymous said that the company no longer had ties to Jamal and that he was only a small shareholder before.
“Jamal began owing us in Jan 2014, our company provided security services for Jamal’s car business in Jalan Pahang.
“The original debt was about RM56,000 only, but after taking into account legal costs and interests, it is now about RM200,000,” the spokesperson told reporters on the sidelines of the seizure of the vehicles today.
He added that they had no choice but to take such action as all efforts to claim the payment had been ignored.
“A letter of demand was produced, then a summons (by the court). So now there is a 14-day period for him to solve the matter. If not, we shall proceed with the auctioning process (of the seized cars),” said the spokesperson.
