GEORGE TOWN: Three unlicensed businesses operated by foreigners in Batu Maung and Bayan Lepas were sealed during an enforcement operation.
In Batu Maung and Bayan Lepas, three unlicensed businesses owned by foreigners were recently sealed by the Penang Island City Council (MBPP). The enforcement operation, known as Ops Tegas, took place yesterday. Two barbershops on Jalan Baru Batu Maung and a food establishment in Taman Melati, Jalan Tun Dr Awang, were the targets of the raid.
During the operation, the MBPP seized equipment from all three premises and ordered their immediate closure. Their main entrances were sealed as a result. The MBPP's Licensing Department, Enforcement Department, and Corporate Communications and Public Relations Division were involved in the operation.
MBPP emphasized that enforcement actions will continue to ensure businesses within its jurisdiction adhere to licensing regulations and conditions. The primary goal of the operation was to promote regulatory compliance and protect the urban environment's well-being. This action was highlighted on MBPP's social media platform.
