In managing the building, JMB has to convene an annual general meeting to discuss the management of the building. The formation of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) is for leading the success of preserving and managing properties with extensive knowledge and professional abilities to handle tasks and responsibilities managed by the Joint Management Body (JMB). The purpose of this research is to focus on the implementation of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) to identify the challenges faced by JMB in handling AGM.
