Maid among 12 foreign women held for working as GROs in Bukit Mertajam
BUKIT MERTAJAM: An Indonesian domestic worker was among 12 foreign women detained by the Immigration Department during a raid on an entertainment centre early today. Enforcement Division director Basri Othman said checks revealed the woman held a valid permit to work as a maid but had violated the terms by working as a guest relations officer (GRO) at night. Further inspection showed some of the women were employed in factories, had overstayed their permits, and several lacked identification documents. 'In the operation at 1.30 am, the women — three Indonesians, seven Thais, and two Vietnamese — aged between 20 and 35, were found entertaining customers,' he told reporters. Several women attempted to escape through the back door but were swiftly detained. Basri said preliminary investigations found all 12 had been working at the premises for about six months, earning between RM150 and RM250 per hour. The case is being investigated under the Immigration Act 1959/1963, with detainees taken to the Seberang Jaya Immigration Office before transfer to the Jawi Immigration Detention Depot. - Bernama

Sultan of Perak's office lodges police report over false TikTok claim of royal wedding at palace
IPOH, Aug 4 — The Office of the Sultan of Perak has lodged a police report over a TikTok video falsely claiming a royal wedding will take place at Istana Iskandariah in Kuala Kangsar on Aug 7. Comptroller of the Perak Royal Household Meor Hezbullah Meor Abd Malik, in a statement, said that the police report was lodged on July 31. Meor Hezbullah clarified that neither a royal wedding nor a live broadcast will take place on Aug 7. 'The Office of His Royal Highness neither recognises nor is connected to the TikTok account owner and has not appointed anyone as an official spokesperson for palace events, including royal weddings. 'The Office stresses that the content shared by the TikTok account is completely false and may cause public confusion,' he added. Previously, a TikTok user under the name 'The King' had uploaded a 58-second video on the social media platform, claiming that a royal wedding would be held at Istana Iskandariah Bukit Chandan, Kuala Kangsar, from August 7 to 17. The footage also alleged that the solemnisation ceremony would be broadcast live on a local television station on Aug 7 at 11.30 am. It also claimed the royal couple will be in Tamparuli, Sabah, for a week starting Aug 17 as part of the alleged wedding. — Bernama
