Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Fadil Marsus revealed plans to overhaul raid procedures following a botched operation at a Chow Kit health club suspected of hosting illicit gay activities.

“We cannot afford arrests that lead nowhere,” Fadil stressed, emphasizing strict legal elements required for such cases. Authorities are now coordinating with local councils and religious departments to permanently shutter the two-storey premises, which had operated discreetly for up to ten months.
