DBKL issues 41 compounds to unlicensed photographers at KLCC

KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) conducted a joint enforcement operation called 'Ops Lens' and issued 41 compound notices to unlicensed photographers operating around the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC). The operation involved multiple agencies, including the Royal Malaysia Police, Immigration Department, and National Registration Department. DBKL stated that the operation aimed to monitor and take action against individuals offering photography services in public spaces without proper permits. 'With the involvement of partner agencies, checks were also conducted to identify individuals with criminal records, verify identification documents, and confirm their citizenship status. No arrests were made during this operation,' DBKL said in a statement. The authorities emphasized that public spaces must be used responsibly and in compliance with regulations. 'Unlicensed photography services are not only illegal but also pose safety risks to visitors. Some of these activities are carried out on roads or pedestrian paths, which not only endanger the photographers and their clients, but also disrupt the flow of public movement,' DBKL added. The city hall warned that it would confiscate equipment if illegal photography activities continue. 'Monitoring and enforcement action will regularly be carried out to ensure that the city remains safe, orderly and harmonious for all,' it said. - Bernama

RM2,000 fine: Authorities crack down on unlicensed KLCC photo touts

KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 — Authorities fined nearly 30 photo touts in the vicinity of KLCC RM2,000 each last night for operating without valid permits. The operation was launched following complaints from the public and a recent viral incident involving one of the photographers and a foreign tourist, the New Straits Times reported. Officers from the Royal Malaysia Police, Immigration Department, and Kuala Lumpur City Hall conducted the joint enforcement action. The fines were issued under By-law 3(1) of the Federal Territory Hawkers Licensing By-Laws 2016, which regulates street-based commercial activities. The photographers are known for offering smartphone photography services to tourists, often capturing images with the Petronas Twin Towers in the background. One affected photographer, speaking anonymously, said this was their first time being fined and expressed concern about sustaining their livelihood. He said enforcement officers had hinted at the possibility of introducing a permit system to regulate their work in future. Kuala Lumpur Immigration Director Wan Mohammed Saupee Wan Yusoff was present during the operation, which proceeded without serious incident despite some resistance. Authorities have frowned on the touting, with Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa urging members of the public not to patronise or feel pressured into using their services.
