Increase in vice activities in residential estates

The police said that they have observed an increase in the number of vice activities in residential estates.

These activities are facilitated by the use of online platforms to advertise vice-related services and to solicit for clients.

Home owners or tenants who fail to exercise reasonable diligence or knowingly rent out their properties for vice activities may be prosecuted.

If convicted, they can be fined up to S$100,000 or jailed up to five years, or both.

Repeat offenders can be fined up to S$150,000, jailed up to seven years or both.
