KUALA LUMPUR – Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has ordered the immediate closure of a shop in Jalan Bukit Bintang after a video of semi-nude women dancing in front of the premises went viral on social media last week.
DBKL in a post on its official Facebook page informed that its enforcement department had carried out a special operation at the premises on August 23 and found that it had a composite retail store licence, for dry goods only, to carry out supermarket activities.
However, according to DBKL, the premises was operated by four migrant workers – two Bangladeshis and two Iranians – who did not have valid work permits.
“Therefore, DBKL has issued one compound notice for employing foreign workers without a valid work permit and one compound notice for carrying out activities other than those permitted under the licence.
DBKL said according to the workers at the premises, the semi-nude dance incident took place on July 5, in conjunction with the outlet’s anniversary celebration. – Bernama, August 27, 2023
