Raiding Party Hit Subang Jaya & Puchong

TWO premises, one in Subang Jaya and another in Pusat Bandar Puchong were raided last night by the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ).
The first outlet targeted was an office lot in SS17 located within the Wisma D'Corp row. Jointly carried out with the SS17 police, MPSJ officers raided the premises on suspicion of harbouring illegals or drug abusers.
The council and police had based on a complaint that the staircase leading to the said premises emitted a stench, broke into the premises.A mountain of rubbish greeted the officers at the staircase.
But instead of finding anyone in there, the officers found the premises to be a store for rolls of cables, computer servers, circuit boards, metal pieces and computers. Four office lots had been converted into a store yard on the third floor of the building.
Guard uniforms, clothes and even underwear were found in the premises but no one was found on site.
"We will trace the owner of the building and prosecute him under Act 171, Section 17 (12) of the Building Act for misusing the office lot as a store yard for his equipment. This is a designated office lot and cannot be used for anything other than is permitted," an MPSJ spokesperson said.
SS17 police station Chief Inspector Sulaiman Baputty who led the police party described the stench as that of a corpse.
"We feared the worse when we smelled the stench," he said, adding that although no one was found on site, it was good that members of the public were now bringing such complaints to the attention of the authorities.
"It is good that people are observant and are calling us. It doesn't matter if at the end of the day, we find no criminal activities. We are ready to check out what is brought to our attention," he added.
Later MPSJ officers led another raiding party to Pusat Bandar Puchong.

An illegal DVD shop had all its DVDs, many of which were pornographic DVDs seized and shut down.
The operator could only watch as MPSJ officers carted away everything, including a flat screen TV, before issuing him a compound for the offence.
The raid attracted a huge crowd of diners from the nearby eateries.
