TANAH MERAH, 9 JUN 2026 (TUESDAY) – The Licensing and Enforcement Divisions of the Tanah Merah District Council have launched an integrated operation to monitor the compliance of food premises licenses in the district's business hub areas.
The operation conducted last night included inspections at strategic locations namely Padang Siam Road, Lubok Road, Ismail Petra Road, and Machang Road. The main focus of the operation was to ensure that every food premises operator complies with the licensing conditions set under the Trade, Business and Industry Licensing Minor Law (MDTM) 2019.
The inspection results found that there are still a few operators who ignore their licensing responsibilities. Among the main violations detected were operating businesses without a valid license and failure to renew the premises license before the expiration date.
Following the inspection, the MDTM has taken firm action by issuing seven (7) warning notices and four (4) compound offers to the premises found to be in violation of the regulations.
The council will also continue to intensify monitoring and enforcement sessions from time to time.
The council also advises all food premises operators to always be aware of the validity period of their business licenses to avoid any legal action in the future.
