JERTIH: An illegal entertainment outlet on Pulau Perhentian Kecil that had been raided several times before, was once raided again by the police early Saturday (Sept 17) morning.
Besut district police chief Supt Abdul Rozak Muhammad said a 27-year-old man was arrested for running the entertainment centre without a licence during the raid conducted by the police at 12.30am today.
"On arrival, the police found that music was blaring and there were about 20 customers, all of whom were foreign tourists.
