Six GROs among 20 nabbed in anti-vice raid at KL nightclub


KUALA LUMPUR: Six women, believed to be guest relation officers (GROs) were among 20 individuals detained following a raid at a nightclub in Kuchai Lama.

It is learnt that the GROs raked in thousands of ringgit from their "clients".

Kuala Lumpur Immigration director Wan Mohammed Saupee Wan Yusoff said a search of the premises uncovered flower garlands priced between RM100 and RM2,000.

“Six women believed to be working as GROs were detained - three Thai nationals and three Vietnamese.

"We also detained four Taiwanese men, five Bangladeshi men, and a man from China.

“A Malaysian woman, suspected to be the club’s manager, was also detained,” he told reporters at the raid location on Friday (July 25).

The foreign nationals were detained under Section 6(1)(c) and Section 15(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63, as well as Regulation 39(b) of the Immigration Regulations 1963, he said.

"The local suspects will be investigated under Section 56(1)(d) of the Immigration Act 1959/63 for allegedly harbouring undocumented migrants.
