CYBERJAYA: For three years, an unlicensed spa resort in Sungai Petani, Kedah, made a small fortune from selling unregistered condoms to teenagers and those who wanted to keep their flings discreet.

The spa did this via online trading platforms in order to evade the authorities’ radar until they were busted by the Health Ministry and the police on Thursday.
