Cancel Network School license if laws broken, Johor Crown Prince orders

Tunku Mahkota Ismail, the acting Sultan of Johor, has mandated a thorough investigation into the Network School located in Forest City. He stated that if the school is found to be in violation of any laws, license conditions, or regulations, stern measures, including the cancellation of its operating license or permit in Johor, will be implemented.

"Regarding the issue involving Network School in Forest City recently, any matters related to the entry of foreigners into this country are subject to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN)," the Crown Prince said in a statement. He added that while the state government and local authorities would conduct their own detailed investigations, any breaches would result in decisive action.

Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi echoed these sentiments, urging the federal government to provide a prompt, clear, and final decision regarding the individuals involved and the school's operations, as foreign entry falls under KDN's purview. Within the state's jurisdiction, the Iskandar Puteri City Council (MBIP) has already taken enforcement actions based on local authority powers.

An inspection revealed the company operates from two premises. One holds a valid business office license, while the other was found operating without an MBIP business license, despite being locally owned. The company is also accused of violating its permitted business type, using its office space for classrooms and business promotions without detailed applications. Consequently, MBIP issued notices to cease business and for advertising license violations due to non-compliant signage.
