A 65-year-old Singaporean man was fined S$7,000 in court for running an unlicensed massage parlour in Orchard Towers in 2022.
During a police raid, his wife was also found to have provided sexual services to customers.
Background
According to court documents seen by Mothership, the man, Leng Kheng Chiang, had been the owner and sole proprietor of Fragrance Beauty, located within the Orchard Towers, since January 2022.
At the time, the mall had not yet undergone a makeover, which began in late 2023.
According to court documents seen by Mothership, Fragrance Beauty did not have a valid massage establishment licence.
It was notified that it could operate as an exempted massage establishment, but it breached the exemption conditions because massages were not done in full public view.
Leng's wife, Wang Aimei, also worked as a massage therapist at the shop.
Police raid
On Jul. 7, 2022, police conducted an enforcement check at Fragrance Beauty.
While giving a customer a massage, Wang was found to have offered him sexual services for between S$100 and S$150.
Leng was also found to have known that Wang provided massage services at the establishment, despite the shop not being licensed as such.
Court documents noted that it was styled as a business offering facial and beauty care services.
However, Leng permitted his wife to continue providing her services.
He was also mostly uninvolved in the business' operations and rarely visited its premises.
By running an "establishment for massage", as defined under the Massage Establishment Act 2017, without a valid licence, Leng was found to have committed an offence punishable by a fine of up to S$10,000, up to two years' jail, or both.
He was not arrested and did not spend any time in remand.
In court on Oct. 22, he pleaded guilty to one count of violating the Act and was fined S$7,000 in default for four weeks' imprisonment.
The fine was paid upfront, according to the court.
