The much loved and loyal Head Concierge of Lexington Apartments, Haji Cham, was recently dismissed from his position. He is now out of work and is having to move his family out of their home. The reasons for his dismissal by James Andrew Residential relate to a single, one-off incident, involving an argument with one of our tenants. JAR is saying that this single incident means that he should lose his job and, as he is responsible for the safety and security of the tenants in the building, he cannot be trusted to remain in his role. The company has taken this position in spite of the fact that Haji was provoked, is remorseful, has received the overwhelming support of residents in the building, and otherwise has a clean disciplinary record. His solicitor feels he has been unfairly treated, and we agree with him. Haji has given Lexington Apartments 17 years of wonderful service, during which he has shown himself to be efficient, knowledgeable, reliable, honest, courteous, well presented, and always keen to go out of his way to offer help and advice.
Please sign this petition if you believe that: (1) Haji should get his job back; and (2) he can be trusted to remain in his role.
If anyone has separate thoughts that they would like to share after signing the petition (or other messages of support), they could email them to Haji at [email protected]
On behalf of Haji, thank you very much for your time, and we welcome your support. Norman Miller, Jinendra Ekanayake, and Ann Brown

I have spent the past several days documenting the testimonials provided by those who worked alongside Haji for many years. It is clear that management underestimated the depth of our commitment to seeing him reinstated.
November 11, 2016
The momentum behind this request for Haji’s reinstatement continues to grow at a steady pace. This outpouring of support demonstrates the high regard in which he is held by the residents of Lexington Apartments. We are now preparing to present this collective sentiment to the management team at James Andrew Residential.

Haji has always been extremely polite, helpful, trustworthy and very serious about ensuring our safety. I have witnessed on multiple occasions how helpful and honest he genuinely is and how respectfully he treats people. The treatment and sentence he received are a shame and he should be reinstated promptly, for our benefit as much as his.
Haji has always been polite to me, helpful beyond the call of duty and loyal. I have lived at number 37 The Lexington for nearly 14 years and am a leaseholder. I believe that Haji should get his job back and that he can be trusted to remain in his role.
Haji is an honest, hardworking and reliable man. As residents, we have not been informed the termination or the circumstances leading to his dismissal. If his behaviour merited dismissal we should have been informed in writing that he has been dismissed and the reasons for the termination of his employment.
He is courteous, professional and I feel that a lot of leaseholder's views must be seriously considered. Although JAR may be their employee, I think of paramount importance is the wishes of the leaseholders, which Haji has always served.
Haji has always been unfailingly helpful and courteous, going out of his way on a number of occasions to help us out - over and above what would be expected in his role as head concierge. It would be a huge shame to lose him, one of the best parts of the great atmosphere at Lexington, for an isolated incident. Bring Haji back!
Good luck Haji, in my time at the Lexington I had full faith in your abilities!
Haji is a very kind, caring and very professional man. During our time living at the Lexington Apartments, he took great care of us. He is a very respectful and courteous human being. He made us feel very safe and was exceptional in his role. I am 100% behind him getting re-instated to his role.

I have know Haji since 2004 and always found him professional, helpful and happy. I can't believe that this has happened without a proper investigation and his dismissal is unfair considering the years of professional service he has given.
