Kuala Terengganu company fined over ‘indecent’ behaviour at event
PETALING JAYA: The Kuala Terengganu City Council has fined a company that organised an entertainment event for violating its licensing conditions, after a video went viral showing attendees at Dataran Shahbandar allegedly behaving indecently.
Kuala Terengganu mayor Lizan Che Mat said the fine was issued under the Entertainment and Places of Entertainment Enactment 2002, which carries a fine of up to RM10,000, imprisonment of up to three years, or both.
“Approvals of entertainment licences under the enactment come with conditions that organisers must strictly adhere to,” Bernama reported him as saying today.
He said the council would not compromise on the event licensing conditions, particularly entertainment programmes that disrupt public peace.
A video of the event shows a man putting his arm around a woman, in an apparent breach of the state’s khalwat, or proximity, laws.
