“Investigations also found that the premises involved operated as a call centre and paid rent of RM1,500 per month for each unit,” he said.

“Each employee is also believed to receive a wage of between RM3,000 to RM3,500 a month.”

Saiful Annuar said the group is suspected to earn a monthly profit of about RM100,000 from the online business.

He said all suspects have been arrested and would be remanded for further investigation under Section 372 (1) (e), Section 372B and Section 373 of the Penal Code.

“Besides that, the case is also being investigated under Section 6 (1) (c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63 for the offence of not having a valid pass or permit to stay in Malaysia,” he said.

“We strongly warn the public to not get involved in any prostitution activities as stern action will be taken against the organisers, premises owners, employees or customers in an effort to combat prostitution in Kuala Lumpur.”

He then urged the public to contact the Kuala Lumpur Police JSJ 24 Hour Special Operations Room at 03-21460670 or the Kuala Lumpur Police Hotline at 03-2115 9999 if they have further information regarding the case or any similar activities.
