GEORGE TOWN, Feb 15 (Bernama) -- The Penang Island City Council (MBPP) seized various broadcasting equipment from two unlicensed entertainment outlets in George Town during Ops Hibur early this morning.
In a statement, MBPP said the operation, which began at 1 am, was carried out by its Licensing and Enforcement Departments in collaboration with the Gambling and Vice Prevention Unit (D7) of the Penang Police Contingent.
"The broadcasting equipment from both entertainment venues was confiscated as the outlets violated Section 6(1) of the Entertainment and Places of Entertainment Enactment 1998.
"Additionally, two compounds were issued—one under the council’s Food Establishment By-Laws 1991 for operating a food business without a valid license, and another under the Advertising By-Laws 2000 for displaying unlicensed signage," the statement read.
