BUKIT MERTAJAM: Nine individuals, including four teenage girls, were willing to rent a room at a luxury hotel in Machang Bubok here last night, just to have a wild birthday party.

The nine, aged 16 to 24, were arrested by a team from the Penang Contingent police headquarters anti-vice, gambling and secret societies division (D7) at around 12.30 midnight (Jan 29), based on intelligence and a public tip-off regarding their immoral activities.
