KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 — The Kuala Lumpur City Hall has ordered the immediate closure of a shop in Jalan Bukit Bintang, here after a video of semi-nude women dancing in front of the premises went viral on social media last week.
City Hall in a post on its official Facebook page said its Enforcement Department had carried out a special operation at the premises on Aug 23 and found that it had a composite retail store licence for dry goods only to carry out supermarket activities.
However, the KL City Hall noted, the premises was run by four foreign workers — two Bangladeshis and two Iranians — who did not have valid work permits.
“Therefore, City Hall 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.
City Hall 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.
