Police: Penang a gay sex services hub

PETALING JAYA: Penang is becoming a hub for commercial gay sex services and the local councils seem to encourage it, police claim.
Penang police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Wira Ayub Yaakub said police had raided health and fitness centres that were being used as a front for gay sex services over the past couple of years.
“Although we have forwarded our recommendations to the local councils not to renew the operators’ permits, we find the centres still in operation,” he said. “Because of the local authorities’ inaction, the operators have become big-headed, acting as if they are above the law,” said DCP Ayub in an interview.
For instance, he said police raided a health club in Pulau Tikus about a month ago, but business was still continuing.
“In fact, all the premises that we have raided are still carrying on with their businesses,” he said, adding that police had identified at least five health clubs catering to gay activities in Fettes Park, Pulau Tikus, Bagan Jermal and Seberang Jaya.
“We should not allow such unhealthy culture to thrive here,” he said. DCP Ayub chided critics who claimed that such raids would hamper tourism.
Penang municipal councillor Tay Leong Seng said he would ask council officers for an explanation before making any comment.
