Seven Indonesians detained over beauty treatments at rented homes
KUALA LUMPUR: Seven Indonesians believed to be working as beauty therapists were detained for allegedly offering beauty and aesthetic treatments from rented homes in four Klang Valley locations.
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian authorities detained seven Indonesians accused of providing beauty and aesthetic treatments from rented homes in the Klang Valley. The Malaysian Immigration Department initiated the operation at 12:15 PM following complaints and intelligence reports. The detained individuals consisted of one man and six women, aged between 19 and 44.
The operation targeted rented houses in four locations, including Jalan Uranus in Shah Alam, Pandan Perdana, and Kepong. The department aimed to prevent foreigners from offering such services to locals and foreigners, particularly Indonesians, who promoted the treatments through social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. The operation, which had been ongoing for about a year, was said to potentially generate up to RM50,000 monthly, with charges starting from RM400.
The suspects, who had reportedly received training in their home country, were subjected to further investigation by the Health Ministry under specific regulations.
