SHAH ALAM, Dec 9 — State executive councillor for local government and tourism Dato’ Ng Suee Lim today apologised over an incident in which a female singer alleged she was filmed by local authority (PBT) officers while receiving a massage during an operation at a beauty centre in Subang Jaya.
Ng explained the issue may have arisen from unclear standard operating procedures, which led to a misunderstanding between the PBT officers and the singer during the raid.
“I was informed the massage centre involved was unlicensed… I do not blame the singer and understand she may have felt her dignity, rights, or privacy were compromised,” he said.
“I empathise with her sentiments,” he said at a special press conference on the 2025 PBT assessment rate at Wisma DNS today.
Ng assured that appropriate measures would be taken to resolve the issue professionally and amicably, with steps to prevent similar incidents.
Ng said the Selangor government is considering a requirement for PBT enforcement officers to wear body cameras. The implementation of this measure will depend on available financial resources, and will be rolled out in phases to ensure smoother operation.
This comes in the wake of a viral video shared by a female singer, who accused PBT officers of secretly filming her during a massage session at a beauty and wellness centre in Subang Jaya.
Subang Jaya top cop Wan Azlan Wan Mamat reportedly said police will conduct a thorough investigation into the incident.
