    • SINGAPORE – Hair salons and public entertainment outlets in Geylang and Joo Chiat were targeted in recent enforcement operations that saw 20 people arrested and six others being investigated. The police had raided three salons in Geylang on June 27. At one outlet, plainclothes officers caught women offering unlicensed massage services.   There were four men receiving such services in this salon during the raid – the first operation at such outlets that the media has been allowed to observe. The men sat on massage beds at the back of the shop while the police questioned the women. Although they were allowed to leave, the men stayed behind, hoping to get a refund. Based on identity checks, several of the women appeared to be Singapore permanent residents.   Shops like this one often present a typical salon set-up at the front, while the back contains massage stations with beds separated by thin dividers.   The shop where the media observed the police raid had four massage beds, six hair washing beds, and two foot massage recliners. At least seven women were working there at the time.   The Straits Times had visited this same shop in 2024, as part of reporting for an article on how, exploiting a gap in existing regulations. Under the massage establishment licensing system, at least 80 per cent of employees at massage parlours and spas must be certified in beauty therapy services.

Following ST’s report in December 2024, the hair salon operator had posted on TikTok offering a $20,000 reward to anyone who could find illegal activity inside their shop. The salon, along with the two others found to be providing massage services beyond stipulated operating hours, are now being investigated for offences under the Massage Establishments Act.   https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-295LYI-_sg The police also raided public entertainment outlets in Geylang and Joo Chiat on June 20 and June 27 to clamp down on activities like touting, vice and drug-related activities. A total of 12 women, aged between 32 and 50, were arrested for working without valid work passes. On June 27, the media was also taken to a KTV lounge in Geylang where 10 women were arrested. All were Chinese nationals. Customers continued partying even as the police raid unfolded. The police said one of the outlets in Geylang had fire safety violations such as obstructions to emergency escape routes. As part of the wider enforcement operations, the Traffic Police conducted anti-drink driving checks in the area. Seven motorists, aged between 24 and 55, were arrested for drink driving, including a 26-year-old man who did not have a valid driving licence. More people were with 1,778 such arrests in 2024, up 6.9 per cent from 2023. Drink driving-related accidents dropped from 180 to 166 cases in the same time period, but the number of fatal accidents linked to drink driving increased from 11 cases in 2023 to 12 in 2024. During the enforcement operation, a 48-year-old male motorcyclist was arrested for suspected drug-related offences. He had duty-unpaid cigarettes and e-vaporisers in his possession. Those convicted of running a business providing unlicensed massages can be jailed for up to two years and fined up to $10,000. Repeat offenders can be jailed for up to five years and fined up to $20,000. Those convicted of working without a valid work pass can be jailed for up to two years and fined up to $20,000.
    • SHATEC, which has been training students in Singapore for jobs in the hospitality industry for 42 years, is reportedly closing down. It has already put up its campus building in Bukit Batok for sale, reported Lianhe Zaobao. Source: Google Maps SHATEC has suspended operations since 1 April An email sent by SHATEC director Margaret Heng on 27 March, which was seen by Zaobao, informed alumni that it would gradually suspend its operations from 1 April. The move was described as a “business containment exercise”.   After SHATEC was taken over by new management in January, it was found that its existing operating model was “no longer economically viable”, she explained, without elaborating further. This was a “difficult decision” for the board of the Singapore Hotel Association (SHA), which set up SHATEC in 1983. The business containment includes reducing the scale of operations, completing the courses that have started and teaching the last batch of pre-employment training (PET) students. SHATEC campus in Bukit Batok for sale Additionally, real estate company CBRE has been appointed as the exclusive marketing agent for SHATEC’s campus, located at 21 Bukit Batok Street 22. Source: Google Maps In an 8 May statement quoted by Zaobao, CBRE said the three-storey building has been priced at about S$18 million. Its lease ends in 2051.   Zaobao reporters who visited the building on 24 June found a sign outside its gate saying that it was for sale. When they called the phone number on the notice board, a staff member who answered said that the institution stopped enrolling new students in March. SHATEC campus in Orchard & The Sapling restaurant already closed When Zaobao went down to SHATEC’s Orchard Campus at the Singapore Tourism Court, it found that it had already shuttered. A Singapore Tourism Board staff member at the reception counter said the Orchard Campus held its last day of classes last Thursday (26 June). It is understood that some of its courses at the branch have been transferred to the main campus in Bukit Batok. The Orchard Campus opened approximately 1.5 years ago in January 2024. It was “designed to provide learners with an immersive learning experience, combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on training that includes professional-class culinary facilities”, said SHATEC in a press release at the time. Source: SHATEC The Sapling restaurant, which was run by SHATEC and provided an avenue for students to get a hands-on learning experience, shut down even earlier on 7 March, according to a notice on the SHATEC website.   Last batch of pre-employment training students enrolled in Sept In Aug 2024, SHATEC announced that it would be making a “strategic move” away from PET, instead focusing primarily on continuing education and training programmes. Thus, it took in its last batch of PET students in September last year, it said, adding: SHATEC still reviewing long-term plans: Chairman In response to enquiries from Zaobao, SHATEC Chairman Loh Lik Peng said the institution was “in the early stages of reviewing its long-term plans”. The sale of the Bukit Batok campus is part of its “asset management strategy”, he added. However, as the review is ongoing, he cannot comment further.
