The operators could face a maximum fine of up to RM25,000 if convicted.
The entertainment outlets’ equipment was also seized under Section 25 of the same enactment.
MBSJ in a press statement said that periodic monitoring would be carried out from time to time to weed out such illegal centres.
Strict action will be taken against any operation or premises for violating the rules and regulations. — By AMIRAH CHE RAMLAN
