JOHOR BARU: The Iskandar Puteri City Council (MBIP) has revoked the business licence of NSO Malaysia Sdn Bhd (Network School) and ordered the company to cease its operations in Forest City effective Wednesday (July 22) over licensing and premises-use violations.
In a statement on Tuesday (July 21), MBIP said the decision was made during a special full council meeting following inspections and enforcement checks carried out at the company’s premises on July 12, 14, 19 and 20.

The local authority said enforcement action was taken after the company was found to have breached licensing conditions and premises usage requirements under its jurisdiction.
For a unit located at Teluk Bintang along Jalan Forest City 5 in Pulau Satu Forest City, MBIP said the company had been operating without a business licence.
As a result, it issued a Stop Business Notice under the Iskandar Puteri City Council Trade, Business and Industrial Licensing By-Laws 2018.
Meanwhile, MBIP revoked the business premises and advertising licences for another unit at Jalan Forest City 5 after finding that business activities carried out at the premises differed from those approved under its office-use licence.
The council also issued a notice requiring the company to comply with its advertising licence after determining that the signboard displayed at the premises did not match the approved application.
MBIP stressed that all businesses operating within its administrative area must comply with existing laws and licensing conditions to safeguard public interest, public order and the integrity of the local administration system.
It also warned that it would not compromise on any breach of the law and would initiate prosecution should the company continue operating in contravention of the relevant regulations.
