PETALING JAYA: Officers recently implicated in immoral activities have been removed from all educational institutions under the Education Ministry pending the completion of investigations.
The ministry said it takes the matter seriously and will not tolerate such unethical conduct among its personnel.
“All department heads are reminded to strengthen monitoring efforts and ensure that such immoral activities are eradicated at every level,” it said in a statement on Monday (Dec 1).
Recently, there was a raid at a "men only" wellness centre in Kuala Lumpur on Friday (Nov 28), which saw the arrest of 201 men, including 17 civil servants.
The men, aged between 19 and 60, were picked up in a surprise raid involving Kuala Lumpur police, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Department (Jawi).
However, a total of 171 local men were freed after a magistrate rejected a late remand bid on Sunday (Nov 30).
The centre, which operated under the guise of a health and wellness facility, is equipped with a gym, spa, swimming pool and designated rest areas catering specifically for men, said Kuala Lumpur deputy police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Azani Omar.
The centre reportedly operated daily from 5pm until late at night, targeting those seeking to “unwind” after work.
On Saturday (Nov 29), 13 men were also arrested for their alleged involvement in unnatural sexual and prostitution activities at a commercial premises in Penang.
