The Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) has rejected social media allegations that it selectively targeted a nasi lemak restaurant in USJ 9, stating that 30 business premises across USJ 9 and USJ 10 faced enforcement action this year.

The controversy started around 11 November, when the operator of Restoran Nasi Lemak Warisan Sambal Opah filmed a night-time video outside his closed USJ 9 shopfront.

In the video, which circulated widely across TikTok, Threads, X, and Facebook, the operator said MBSJ singled out his licensed business for demolition while neighbouring mamak and Chinese restaurants went untouched, alleging uneven treatment of Malay traders and citing envy after 15 years of operation.

He acknowledged receiving a demolition order for a concrete slab over a broken drain on the five-foot way, said the structure predated his tenancy since 2011, and said he had applied for permits after an initial letter before receiving another notice in September.
