The Crackhouse Comedy Club has been operating without an entertainment licence, according to Deputy Federal Territories Minister Jalaluddin Alias.
The premises in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), only have a restaurant licence, he said.
"They need both. So, they definitely violated the terms," he reportedly told The Star.
Jalaluddin said DBKL would be issuing a show-cause letter to the club operator today (Tuesday) and it has to respond within 14 days.
The comedy club's operation has been suspended since Sunday as authorities began investigations into a viral video of a woman who was believed to be intentionally insulting the sanctity of Islam.
The action, however, had since received many criticisms from comedians and netizens who believed the club should not be punished for the woman's action during an open-mic event on the premises.
Jalaluddin reportedly said that Crackhouse can file an appeal within 14 days, and also apply for an entertainment licence from DBKL.
"I will leave it to the committee to investigate whether the present licence has been abused," he said. - Mkini
