KUALA LUMPUR – The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has ordered the immediate closure of a shop in Jalan Bukit Bintang, after a video of belly dancers 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 location on August 23 and found that it had a composite retail store licence (dry goods only) to carry out supermarket activities.
However, according to DBKL, the premises was operated by four foreign workers, specifically 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 viral dance took place on July 5, in conjunction with the outlet’s anniversary celebration. – August 27, 2023
