Specific Licensing Violations Found at Puncak Alam Businesses

The Kuala Selangor Municipal Council (MPKS) identified several licensing and regulatory violations during an operation targeting businesses operated by foreign nationals in Puncak Alam. A total of 15 compounds and five notices were issued for offences including operating without a business licence, displaying unlicensed advertisements, and issues related to premises cleanliness and obstruction of public spaces. These violations led to the immediate closure of the affected premises and the seizure of equipment.
Operation Targeted Foreign-Owned Businesses

An integrated operation, involving the Immigration Department of Malaysia and the Companies Commission of Malaysia, was conducted by MPKS on Thursday, January 22. The operation focused on businesses suspected of operating without proper licensing, with intelligence suggesting some had been active for approximately five months. Ten premises were initially targeted, comprising car wash centres, grocery shops, and vehicle accessories shops.
Multiple Offences Identified

During the inspection, seven out of the ten targeted premises were successfully inspected. The remaining three were found to be closed, with workers believed to have absconded to avoid enforcement action. The offences documented included operating without the necessary business licence, a critical requirement for commercial activities.
Fines and Seizures Issued

In addition to operating without a licence, businesses were cited for displaying advertisements that lacked the required municipal approval. Concerns were also raised regarding the general cleanliness of the premises and the obstruction of public spaces, indicating potential breaches of local by-laws. As a result of these findings, all inspected premises were ordered to cease operations immediately, and all equipment was confiscated.
Immigration Offences Also Uncovered

Beyond the licensing and regulatory breaches, the operation also led to the detention of several foreign male nationals. These detentions were specifically for immigration offences, highlighting a multi-agency approach to address non-compliance within the business community.
