KUALA LUMPUR: A 59-year-old specialist doctor was among those detained during a raid on a gym and sauna in Chow Kit that was allegedly operating as a front for homosexual activities.

He told officers he went there to "heal and avoid the after-work traffic jam", adding that he often stopped by before returning home to his wife and children.

"I usually come here to avoid the traffic after work. I can relax in the sauna and jacuzzi for a while.

"I don't want to comment on what I did, but yes, such activities do take place here," he said when met at the scene yesterday.

Earlier, Harian Metro reported that 201 visitors and seven employees were detained in the raid on the premises, which was allegedly used as a meeting place for men to engage in immoral acts.

A 19-year-old youth was also among those arrested. He admitted learning about the place from a friend and was intrigued to visit after reading online reviews.

At the time of his arrest, the youth was with a 46-year-old man and said it was his second visit.

"This place is quite popular. I first came here two weeks ago and spent about three hours. At first, I just wanted to try it out but ended up getting hooked," he said.

A foreign tourist in his 40s also admitted visiting the premises after reading positive comments on social media but claimed he was unaware the activities there were illegal.

Yeah, its the same.
