Cops nab 18 foreign GROs in raid on Pandan Perdana karaoke club

KUALA LUMPUR: Eighteen Vietnamese women, believed to be working as guest relations officers (GROs), were nabbed during a raid on the Club De Zone KTV in Pandan Perdana here early this morning.

The women are aged between 20 and 34.

The federal police's Special Task Force for Anti-vice, Gaming and Gangsterism (Stagg) which conducted the operation at 1am also arrested five workers at the club, including two Bangladeshi waiters.

Stagg assistant director senior assistant commissioner Muhammed Hasbullah Ali said the club had abused its licence by offering sexual services to its patrons.

He said the club charged its patrons RM350 for three hours of sex with any of the GROs in rooms located near the club.

Police also seized various documents, including duty records of the GROs and RM4,916 in cash.

The 3-storey club, which opened 10 years ago, has 16 karaoke rooms and operates from 5pm to 7am.

The detainees were brought to the Pandan Indah police station for further action.
