An actor-cum-TV host was among 21 people arrested in a raid on an illegal entertainment centre on the rooftop of a shopping complex in Jalan Bukit Bintang early this morning.

The 28-year-old actor had refused to undergo a urine drug test while two other artistes, in their 40s, were released after they tested negative.

Two individuals were detained for unruly behaviour and verbally abusing the police while two more were held for not having valid identity cards, Kuala Lumpur Narcotic Crime Investigation Department deputy head Supt Sharifah Hawariah Syed Idrus told Bernama after the raid.

She said the centre, located on the eighth floor, had been operating nightly until 6am without a licence for over six months.

She said the 21 were taken to the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters and those who tested positive for drugs would be investigated under the Dangerous Drugs Act.
