A massage parlour operating at Kepayang Sentral in Seremban was ordered to shut down after enforcement officers discovered multiple offences during an integrated operation carried out by the local council and police.
The operation, which began at 2.30am and continued until 5.30pm yesterday, was conducted by the Enforcement and Legal Department of the Majlis Bandaraya Seremban together with the Polis Diraja Malaysia.
Authorities inspected several locations including Kepayang Sentral, Taman Bukit Kepayang and the Oakland Commercial Centre in Seremban 2 as part of a crackdown on massage business premises.
According to MBS, checks at a premises located along Jalan KS 3, Kepayang Sentral found that the business was operating without a valid licence. Officers also discovered advertisements displayed without approval from the local authority.
