The organiser of an underground gig in Malacca, which saw a participant die two weeks ago, could face charges for holding the event without a permit.

Melaka Tengah district police chief Halim Abas said police had concluded their investigation into the Oct 17 incident and submitted the investigation papers to the state prosecution office.

"The deputy public prosecutor has decided to classify the case as NFA (no further action)," he said, referring to the murder probe.

"However, the event organiser could still face charges under the Entertainment and Places of Entertainment Enactment for organising the gig without a permit.
