TANAH MERAH, 20 APRIL 2026 (MONDAY) – A total of 21 business premises in the vicinity of the district were subjected to enforcement action in the Licence Coordination Operation conducted by the Tanah Merah District Council today.
The large-scale operation, which involved public focal areas including Jalan Bukit Bunga–Nibong, Kampung Nibong, Kampung Air Ralek, Kampung Jedok, food stalls at the Tanah Merah Central Market, Jalan Wan Ahmad, and Kampung Panglima Bayu, aimed to ensure that every business operates legally.
Following detailed inspections, the Licensing and Enforcement Division of the MDTM issued:
· 8 Warning Notices (under UUK 3 – general business licence offences)
· 1 Warning Notice (under UUK 17(1) – related to licence conditions)
· 3 Fines (under UUK 6)
· 2 Fines (under UUK 6(1) – related to failure to display a licence)
The Council urges all business owners to promptly check the status of their licences and ensure full compliance with the ancillary conditions. More stringent action without compromise will be taken against any recalcitrant parties to avoid more severe legal implications in the future.
