On 9 Feb at 9.35 pm, the police found 28 people intermingling within a nightlife establishment located in Sim Lim Square.
Out of the 28 people, ten women aged between 24 and 48 were hostesses of Chinese, Malaysian and Vietnamese nationalities. Found to be “providing companionship” to patrons, the police arrested all ten women for offences under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act 1990.
Though it would have been paramount to take necessary precautions against COVID-19, this wasn’t the case.

One of the women later tested positive for COVID-19 through an Antigen Rapid Test (ART).
One can only dishearten at the health risk brought about by the lack of social responsibility.

Police to Investigate Operators
The police identified two men, aged 34 and 61, to be the operators of the nightlife establishment. As a result of their actions, the police is investigating their multiple offences under the “Liquor Control (Supply and Consumption) Act 2015” and the “COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) (Control Order) Regulations 2020”.
According to the Singapore Police Force website, the operators failed to “minimise physical interactions between staff and customers,” as well as to “ensure group sizes did not exceed the prevailing cap on social gatherings.”
The Police urged “members of the public and businesses to take the prevailing safe management measures seriously.”
Should you not comply with the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) (Control Order) Regulations 2020, you could be jailed up to six months, fined up to $10,000, or both.
Meanwhile, supplying liquor without a valid license will result in a fine of up to $20,000.
