MDTM Pursues Stubborn Traders, Trading Without Licence and Not Renewing Licence

TANAH MERAH, 27 APRIL 2026 (MONDAY) – The Licensing Division and the Enforcement Division continuously carried out inspection and monitoring operations of business licences involving several locations around Kampung Kuala Kajang, Jalan Panglima Bayu / Rantau Panjang up to the Batu Gajah area.

The main purpose of this operation is to ensure that all business premise operators comply with the conditions set under the Trade, Business and Industry (MDTM) Minor Law (UUK) 2019. In addition, this monitoring aims to curb the existence of illegal structures and premises operating without permission from the local authorities (PBT).

As a result of the operation, the Council has issued a total of five (5) Warning Notices under UUK 3 for the offence of carrying out business activities without a valid licence and four (4) Compound Offers have been issued under UUK 7(1) due to the failure of the owners to renew the business licence for the current year.

The MDTM urges all traders in the area to always be aware of the responsibility of renewing business licences and ensuring that every economic activity carried out has a valid permit. Firm action without compromise will continue to be taken against any premise owners who remain stubborn.
