Johor has decided to ban a pool party scheduled for tomorrow at an entertainment centre in the state.

State housing and local government exco Abd Latiff Bandi (left) said details of the event publicised over the social media went against the law and cultural norms that could cause social problems among youths, according to a Berita Harian report today.

He added the local government in charge will investigate the matter before taking further action against those who planned to organise the party at Bukit Indah.

"So far, we have received information about it (event). If it is true, the state government, through the responsible authorities, does not discount the possibility of taking stern action against organisers for its offence.

"If it is done at an entertainment premise, their business license can be terminated as it goes against the business premises rules and conditions.

Damned in the state's eyes

"The police can also take action if the event is organised without a permit," he was quoted as saying in the Berita Harian.

Abd Latif stressed the state government will never allow such events as it is against religious and cultural norms of the country.

Meanwhile, the same report quoted Nusajaya OCPD Noor Hashim Mohamad confirming he had received information about the pool party.

"However, police have not received any permit application for organising the event.

"If there is any application from the organisers, the police will discuss further action with the local municipal council," he was quoted as saying.

Berita Harian reported that the pool party had been advertised on social media and news portals.

The daily claimed women were requested to dress "half naked" for the event which comes with free alcoholic drinks.
