GEORGE TOWN: The Penang City Council (MBPP) will take action against the organisers over an incident where several women were reported to be dancing while scantily-clad at a tourist area in Batu Ferringhi, near here recently.

Deputy Chief Minister I Datuk Dr Mohamad Abdul Hamid said the local authority would also issue a show cause letter to the organisers of the event.

"The organisation of the Songkran festival in Batu Ferringhi recently was under the jurisdiction of the local authority, namely MBPP and the organisers had an entertainment licence, but the organisers did not follow the stipulated conditions.
