JOHOR BARU: The Johor Baru City Council (MBJB) has ordered the temporary closure of a mamak restaurant in Bandar Cemerlang, Ulu Tiram, following a viral incident involving two individuals bringing their pet dogs while dining there.
Seri Alam district police chief Superintendent Mohd Sohaimi Ishak said the action was taken to allow for cleaning works to be carried out.
He said the restaurant owner had filed a police report at the Ulu Tiram Police Station, denying allegations that the restaurant allowed customers to bring pets.
"This case has been referred to MBJB and local authorities, and a closure notice has been issued to facilitate cleaning," he said in a statement, as reported by 'Buletin TV3'.
Two days ago, images circulated on social media showing two individuals dining at the 24-hour restaurant at night, with two dogs, believed to be their pets, sitting on chairs provided by the restaurant.
