However, under Section 78 of the Local Government Act 1978, the owner of an overcrowded premises shall be guilty of an offence with a fine not exceeding RM2,000 or a jail term not more than six months or both, upon conviction.

Overcrowding for commercial purposes, such as using dwelling units as hostels, is an infringement of the Town and Country Planning Act 1976 and The National Land Code.

Under the Act, the owner would be liable to a fine of RM500,000, jail, or forfeiture of land, as the real intent was to use the premises as a commercial business of providing accommodation.
