POLICE detained 60 female guest relations officers (GROs) in white fairy dresses, in a raid at a nightclub in Kuala Lumpur early this morning.

Kuala Lumpur CID chief Nik Ros Azhan Nik Ab Hamid said 52 Thais, seven Vietnamese and one Laotian national, aged 19 to 33, were arrested in the 12.30am raid.

“The GROs entertained the customers with a white fairy theme set for the night,” he told reporters at the scene, adding the customers then gave a sash, which they paid between RM100 and RM5,000, to the woman they wanted for special treatment.

Nik Ros Azhan said they also detained a 49-year-old local man in charge of the premises, as well as three foreign male workers, two Vietnamese and one Bangladeshi.

He said the night club had a valid operating licence until the end of the year but illegally hired foreign women to work as GROs.

He said all those arrested were taken to Dang Wangi police station for further investigation under Section 55B of the Immigration Act 1959/63, Regulation 39B under the Immigration Regulations 1963 and Section 4 (1) of the Entertainment (Federal Territory) Act 1992.

The raid by a team 18 from the Anti-Vice, Gambling and Secret Societies Division (D7) from Kuala Lumpur police headquarters ended at 2am. – Bernama, March 14, 2020.
