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.

DBKL says the premises have been slapped with compounds for employing migrant workers without a valid work permit for carrying out activities other than those permitted under the licence. – Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur Facebook pic, August 27, 2023
