A restaurant in downtown Ho Chi Minh City has been fined VND65 million (US$2,800) for running karaoke services despite an ongoing ban due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The People’s Committee in District 1 confirmed on Monday it had imposed the fine upon The King Restaurant on Le Lai Street in Ben Thanh Ward for operating karaoke services without a permit and failing to comply with authorities’ decision to suspend certain businesses due to the coronavirus.
The administration in Ben Thanh Ward was tasked with reviewing all permits and documents regarding the operations of the restaurant.
