Jaim Enforcement Division principal assistant director Rahimin Bani said nine men were detained at four massage joints while 21 others (10 men and 11 women) were caught at seven budget hotels in Melaka Tengah.

“Two men and a woman were detained in a hotel room in Bandar Hilir while a couple was nabbed in a hotel room in Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho with drugs believed to be syabu,” he told reporters after the five-hour integrated anti-vice operation here, today.

“The National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) also seized paraphernalia believed to have been used for processing drugs at the hotel room in Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho.”

He reminded the two married women to be mindful of their behaviour and avoid close proximity that they could use as an excuse to demand for divorce.
