Two entertainment outlets shut down for operating without licences in KL
KUALA LUMPUR: Two entertainment outlets were ordered to shut down for operating without a licence during an integrated enforcement operation on Saturday.
Dubbed Op KL Strike Force, the operation was jointly conducted by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), the police, the National Anti-Drug Agency, the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Department (Jawi), and the Kuala Lumpur Immigration Department.
In a Facebook post, DBKL said checks revealed that one of the premises did not have a valid licence to operate entertainment activities, while the other was still in the process of applying for one.
"Following the inspection, DBKL seized items used in the entertainment activities at the premises," the post read.
According to the statement, 27 foreigners were detained by the Kuala Lumpur Immigration Department during the same operation.
Nineteen people were also detained by the National Anti-Drug Agency after they tested positive for drugs.
"Jawi issued 10 notices to individuals requiring them to give statements under the Syariah Criminal Offences (Federal Territories) Act 1997," it added.
