THE Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has ordered the closure of a shop in Jalan Bukit Bintang after a video of semi-nude women dancing in front of the premises went viral on social media last week.

DBKL, in a post on its official Facebook page, said its Enforcement Department had carried out an operation at the premises on August 23 and found that it had a composite retail store licence (dry goods only) to carry out supermarket activities.

However, it said the outlet was operated by four foreign workers – two Bangladeshis and two Iranians – who did not have valid work permits.

“Therefore, DBKL has issued a compound notice for employing foreigners without a valid work permit and another compound notice for carrying out activities other than those permitted under the licence,” it said.

DBKL said according to the workers at the outlet, the semi-nude dance incident took place on July 5, in conjunction with the outlet’s anniversary celebration. – Bernama, August 27, 2023.
