A total of 96 massage parlors have been shut down from the ninth of this month until today.

In a post made on X just now, President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu stated that 96 massage parlors have been closed as part of an operation launched on the 9th of this month to shut down establishments that are using the name of legitimate businesses to conduct immoral activities.

The President acknowledged with regret that such establishments continue to operate because there is a demand for their services.

"Reducing immoral activities and vices in society, and transforming the state of our community, can only be achieved when the intentions and actions of the general public and all parties are aligned against such matters, and when everyone's opinions on these issues are in harmony," the President stated.

The President further emphasized the need to become a society that says no to immoral activities and all forms of vice.
