Organiser apologises for retro disco event, venue owner fined RM25,000
A restaurant owner in Kelantan, Malaysia, has been fined RM25,000 for hosting an unlicensed retro-themed disco event. The organizer apologized, clarifying that the gathering was a private family event rather than a public entertainment function.
Why it matters
The incident highlights the strict enforcement of local entertainment licensing laws and the cultural tensions regarding public social gatherings in conservative Malaysian states.
The event allegedly featured activities such as dancing, games, lucky draws and a King and Queen of the Night contest, with an entry fee of RM35. (Facebook pic)
