It was also discovered that the premise in USJ 19 also did not have a valid license to operate as an entertainment outlet. “Checks via our system showed that the licence was revoked years ago after the outlet was found to be running illegal gambling activities. An inspection of the outlet also found many secret passages and entrances to cater to special customers,” he added.
Mohd Zulkurnain said that the owner could be fined a maximum of RM25,000 if found guilty.
