Jalaluddin had previously stated that the comedy club would receive a show-cause letter from DBKL since it was operating with only a restaurant licence, which was insufficient for entertainment purposes. He continued by saying that several venues in the area that were suspected of engaging in similar activities were being watched and that establishments with DBKL-issued entertainment licences were required to abide by its guidelines. “By blacklisting the club owners from registering a business licence in Kuala Lumpur forever, the owners will not be able to register any business activity here even under a different name and company,” he was quoted as saying at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.
