PETALING JAYA: Police have raided a nightclub at Icon City here after a public complaint on Twitter and discovered it was selling alcohol without a licence.
Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Mohamad Fakhrudin Abdul Hamid said they raided the premises at around 11.15pm on Sunday (May 1).
"When we raided the nightclub, there were 13 men and 11 women inside.
"Checks revealed that the nightclub had an entertainment licence," he said in a statement on Monday (May 2).
However, it was found to be serving alcohol and further checks revealed that it did not have a valid licence to do so, he added.
"This nightclub has been raided twice before, in August and October last year, for Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Regulations violations as well as employing foreigners without valid permits.
"We take every complaint seriously and will not compromise with any nightclub operator who breaks the law," he said.
Those with information on such activities should contact the Petaling Jaya police at 03-7966 2222.
