The night club in a statement posted on its Facebook page said it has reviewed the closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage and answered allegations made by Sundquist - in a video posted on his video blog on YouTube.
“The two security staff had promply returned the crutches to Sundquist once they were on the dance floor, and left him in the company of his friends,” said the entertainment outlet in the statement.
Relating the incident in the statement, Zouk KL explained that one of its security personnel had approached Sundquist while he was dancing to explain that the podium was strictly for female patrons.
“Sundquist ignored him and continued dancing on the podium.

“His female companion (wife Ashley) moved from the podium to the dance floor and gestured him to come down too,” it said.
When Sundquist refused to budge, a second security personnel approached Sundquist requesting him to obey the request.
Sundqust resisted especially when one of the security personnel placed his hand on the former's back.
Based on the CCTV footage, one of the security personnel held his right arm while the other held the left side to provide him support to leave the podium.
Zouk KL stressed that the outlet does not discriminate against persons with disabilities, a policy it has held since its inception in 2004.
“Their (security staff) actions were out of professional obligations,” it said.
Sundquist, a motivational speaker and US National Amputee Soccer team member uploaded a video in which he said that the bouncers took away his crutches while dancing with his wife.
"For a person with disability without crutches that means I'm immobile. I can't move. I can't walk.
"It's funny because you're a motivational speaker where the point of your speech is, 'I got one leg. I have gotten used to it. I've accepted it', but 12 hours later at the club I discovered that the pain still runs really deep," said Sundquist.
The video has since gone viral with social media users expressing their sympathy over the incident.
