MBSJ punish unlicensed dining establishment in Subang Jaya

SUBANG Jaya City Council (MBSJ) has actually eliminated a dining establishment’s signboard and briefly closed down the properties after examinations exposed that its driver has actually broken a number of laws.

The infractions consisted of not having a legitimate organization permit, not having an advertising and marketing permit for its signboard, and executing remodellings not authorized by the city board.

“An integrated operation to remove unapproved advertisements was carried out on Tuesday (Feb 18) at a restaurant in SS19, Subang Jaya, following monitoring measures and investigations which revealed that the premises had installed a signboard without obtaining proper approval from MBSJ,” the regional council’s Corporate and Strategic Management Department claimed in a media declaration.

“The council had on Jan 21 issued a notice under the MBSJ Advertisement Bylaw 2007, which prohibits signboard or advertisement displays without a valid MBSJ licence, to the business owner.

“However, the owner did not take any action by the end of the notice’s deadline on Feb 3.

“Following this, MBSJ took strict action by removing the signboard that was installed without council approval.

“A fine of up to RM1,000 may be imposed on the business owner if found guilty.

“MBSJ also took action against the premises for violating the MBSJ Food Establishment Licensing Bylaw 2007, which is for operating without a valid business licence.

“Enforcement action was taken by seizing the restaurant’s goods and immediately closing the premises.

“Additionally, the business owner was issued a notice to vacate and demolish the premises under the Street, Drainage, and Building Act 1974 (Act 133), for making renovations that deviated from the approved building plan.

“The owner was instructed to dismantle and demolish the structures that violated MBSJ’s guidelines, within 30 days from the date the notice was issued, which was Feb 17,” claimed MBSJ.

Following the momentary closure, MBSJ claimed it may think about enabling business proprietor to resume the dining establishment upon conformity with all regional council policies on permits.

The city board suggests all structure and local business owner to abide by developed standards and to obtain authorizations beforehand.

“MBSJ will continue its monitoring measures and take strict action against any parties or premises found violating existing rules and regulations,” wrapped up the declaration.
