Johor police chief CP Datuk M. Kumar stated that the joint operation involved multiple agencies and focused on ensuring compliance with regulations. Authorities inspected 64 car wash centres, uncovering offences such as permit violations, overstaying, and lack of valid documentation. Some detainees also faced charges under the Dangerous Drugs Act and the Common Gaming Houses Act.
Kumar warned that offenders could face severe penalties, including fines of up to RM100,000, imprisonment ranging from two to five years, and whipping for certain crimes. Additional investigations were conducted into illegal water connections, unlicensed businesses, and failure to display price tags as required by law.
During the operation, authorities seized equipment and issued compounds to unlicensed premises. Kumar emphasised that the raids successfully addressed illegal activities linked to undocumented migrants and ensured stricter enforcement of business regulations.
