Immigration raids same-sex entertainment centre in KL

The Immigration Department in Malaysia executed a joint operation with the National Anti-Drug Agency in Kuala Lumpur, leading to the detention of four male foreigners suspected of operating an entertainment centre offering same-sex dance performances. The raid, which began at 12.05am, resulted in the arrest of three Chinese nationals and one Filipino national, aged between 21 and 31.

All were detained under Section 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63 and subsequently taken to the Putrajaya Immigration Office for further action. Three local men were also issued notices to report to the office to assist with the investigation. The entertainment centre, located on Jalan Klang Lama and operational since last year, is believed to have targeted both local and foreign customers.

Charges for the alleged offenses ranged from RM53 to RM700, depending on the drinks ordered and table reservations made by customers.
