Read: Car guards could face new regulation measures
“I am against what is being proposed,’ says Aletta.
“They want to rule and control us which will also result in money from our part.”
Aletta says she has had no problem with the way in which she provided car-guarding services.
She adds that she has worked all over the community and has never seen the need to have herself or others regulated.
“We don’t need them to tell us what to do or how to do it,” she says.
“I look after all my cars nicely and never get any complaints.”
Aletta says she always works under the guidance and supervision of the law and authorities.
She adds that she always takes measures to ensure that the functions she works at are well-supervised.
“When I get called to guard cars at functions, I always make sure I inform the authorities and officials so that they know what is going on,” says Aletta.
“We have always worked under them with no problems so why must we start being regulated now?”
Aletta says she worries that this proposed regulation will have an effect on the number of people who will be permitted to work as guards.
“It will basically lead to them telling us who can work and who cannot,” she says.
“When I have big functions to work, I get other people to work with me so they can also make some money.
“What will people eat if they are told they cannot work in public areas, for example?
“It’s just not fair.”
Aletta says she feels car guards must be left to do their jobs without interference from the CPF.
“The CPF must do what they are supposed to do and leave us to work as we have been doing,” she says.
“Any problems we have, we will direct to the relevant authorities.”
“I just want car guards to be able to do their work and not be dictated to.”
