KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 20 — Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng today demanded Deputy Federal Territories Minister Jalaluddin Alias explain why the owners of a shuttered comedy club embroiled in a controversy are forever banned from opening any business in the capital city.
“I, therefore, demand an explanation from Jalaluddin — did he make the announcement of his own accord, contrary to the DBKL licencing committee’s recommendation?Lim said even DBKL must follow the set rules and laws and that Jalaluddin must publicly explain his reason and cite which laws allow a lifetime ban on businesses.
“While I don’t approve of actions or statements aimed at insulting any religion or race, I also disapprove of any bans by the authorities which defy rules and regulations,” he said. Media reports cited Jalaludin saying that DBKL has issued a shutdown order on Crackhouse Comedy Club effective July 30 and that its owners were forever blacklisted from opening any business in Kuala Lumpur even if they used a different name, purportedly for violating the terms of the business licence.
It is so lawless with the authorities
Mockery of Islam as Jokes. Very Sensitive issue. If the Jokes about Christianity, Hindu or Buddha. Do you think Those Devotees to their Religion stay Quite.
The club is a business centre...if a customer does something against rules and regulations...they are warned ..and if necessary banned from coming...why should the club be victimised....think of the other patrons...
