The operation, conducted by the Kuala Selangor Municipal Council in collaboration with multiple agencies, involved 40 personnel and targeted premises operating without valid licences and failing to comply with set conditions. Inspections revealed various offences, including operating without a licence, displaying advertisements without a licence, and violating licence conditions by failing to employ local workers. The council also seized business equipment from unlicensed car wash centres and issued compounds for dumping waste, failing to maintain cleanliness, and placing goods on public areas without permission.",
