  "account": "In Putrajaya, male dancers at an entertainment venue in Jalan Klang Lama are suspected of providing additional services to customers outside the establishment, according to Immigration investigations. Immigration director-general Datuk Zakaria Shaaban disclosed that the venue exclusively admitted male patrons upon entry, charging a table fee of RM780. The venue hosted dance performances by a blend of local and foreign men inside. Four foreign men, comprising three Chinese nationals and a Filipino, were apprehended during a raid at the premises; they have been held for 14 days to aid further inquiries, said Zakaria. While the department does not negate the possibility of these services being arranged outside the venue, Zakaria declined to specify whether the extra services were of a sexual nature. The Immigration Department unveiled the illicit activities at the capital's entertainment center during a special operation on September 27, conducted jointly with the National Anti-Drug Agency. The men, aged between 21 and 31, were detained under Section 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63 for suspected offenses. Three local men were also given notices to report to the Immigration Department to aid the investigation. The venue had been operational since the previous year, catering to both local and foreign clientele in the Klang Valley.",
