North Seberang Prai OCPD Asst Comm Noorzainy Mohd Noor said checks by the enforcement team comprising policemen and officers from Health Ministry and Seberang Prai City Council found these offences to be the major ones committed among others at the area during the inspection from 6pm to 7.45pm."We have contacted the authority of this place and ordered that all recreational and open space here be closed until standard operating procedures are complied.

Apart from sealing off the place with tape, five premises operating at the rest area without valid licences were slapped with compounds by MBSP.
