Kuala Lumpur is set to simplify and tighten the licensing rules for beauty, wellness, spa, and massage businesses. The aim is to make compliance easier for legitimate operators while maintaining high regulatory standards and integrity. The move was discussed between the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) and the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry.
Hannah Yeoh, the minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, proposed a coordinated approach involving Kuala Lumpur Mayor, MOTAC secretary-general, ITC director-general, Immigration Department director-general, and other relevant agencies. The group would work together to review licensing, enforcement, manpower, and industry requirements.
The ITC's expertise is crucial due to Kuala Lumpur's status as a major tourist destination, especially for Muslim visitors. The main goal is to facilitate legitimate businesses, ensure smooth cooperation among government agencies, and protect Kuala Lumpur's and Malaysia's image.
