Spa in mall busted for offering sex services, gambling
KUALA LUMPUR: A spa operating in a shopping mall along Jalan Loke Yew here had been masquerading as a legitimate business under a licensed wellness centre while secretly offering sex services and organising gambling activities. The outlet, which began operations earlier this month, was exposed in a raid at 3.15am yesterday by the Federal anti-vice, gambling and secret societies division (D7) and Cheras district police. Acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad said 54 individuals between the ages of 19 and 54, were detained during the operation. Those arrested comprised five local men, four local women, seven Chinese nationals, three Bangladeshi men, six Myanmar men, as well as 29 foreign women, including 19 from China and 10 from Myanmar. Usuf said the foreign women were employed as guest relations officers (GROs) and allegedly offered sexual services at RM1,700 per session. "Among those arrested was a local woman who organised the gambling sessions while four Chinese nationals and three locals were caught in the act of gambling," he said in a statement today. Police also seized various promotional materials for massages and spa services, business receipts, condoms, mobile phones, lubricants and gambling paraphernalia. "The main business is the spa. However, the gambling activities were arranged for the owner's business associates and not meant for the public," he added. Usuf said the outlet only accepted walk-in customers for massages or sexual services. All those detained, along with the seized items, were taken to the Cheras district police headquarters for further action.
