KUALA LUMPUR: Police raided 10 massage parlours in Bukit Bintang and arrested 81 people believed to be involved in immoral activities yesterday.
Bukit Aman said the raid, which started at 3pm and continued until midnight, targeted reflexology massage premises involving foreign nationals.
“The CID detained 48 foreign women and 21 foreign men as well as two local women believed to be working as masseuses and 10 managers or premises caretakers,” a police statement said.
“All of the premises were found to have committed offences by hiring foreign women and men without valid permits, seen standing in front of the premises offering massage services to the public and foreign tourists.”
Eight massage premises were found to be operating without valid business licences.
Police also seized RM3,979 in cash, CCTV recordings and WiFi modems, among other things.
