S’pore massage parlour Wan Yang abruptly closes all outlets, customers left with unused prepaid packages​

Summarise

News
All five of outlets are now listed as permanently closed on Google Maps.

Singapore massage and foot reflexology parlour Wan Yang Health Product and Food Reflexology Centre (Wan Yang) has reportedly ceased operations at all of its five outlets.

Notices posted at outlets​

A photo shared with Mothership showed a notice pasted up by Wan Yang outside one of its outlets, which stated:

"This company has ceased operations effective immediately and will commence formal liquidation proceedings.

For any outstanding matters, please contact the liquidators who will be appointed in due course."

Additionally, Mothership's attempts to access the company website through a link on its Facebook page led to an unrelated site, and calls to all five outlets went unanswered.

A check on Google Maps also revealed that all five of Wan Yang's outlets are now listed as permanently closed.

Some customers left with unused prepaid packages​

Several customers were caught off-guard by the sudden closure.

According to a Reddit user, his family had just purchased a new package for three persons worth S$7,000 for 70 sessions over the weekend of Nov. 15 to 16.

Staff at the Thomson Plaza outlet had also scheduled them for an appointment on Nov. 22, but the shop was shuttered when they arrived.

The user added that when he reached out to the management at Thomson Plaza, they were unaware of what happened and stated the shop was still operating as per normal on Nov. 20.

Another Mothership reader, who wanted to be known only as BT, said that his father, who has been patronising Wan Yang for more than a decade, also still has an active package with the chain.

He said the closure left his father "shocked and confused" as he had been visiting Wan Yang weekly.

He added that the closure was especially surprising as none of the customers were informed. His father, who had an appointment scheduled for Nov. 23, only learnt about it through a friend.

"I trusted this company," said BT's father.

"The government should take action against the owners, as they were still instructing staff to sell new packages even though they planned to shut down operations.

Many of the staff have worked there for a long time, and I’m worried they may not receive their last month’s salary."

Mothership has reached out to Wan Yang and Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) for further comment.

SINGAPORE – After 42 years behind the stove, 78-year-old Lai Fak Nian has closed Plum Village Restaurant, his well-loved Hakka eatery in Jalan Leban, and handed over the reins to young restaurateur Chen Yiwen.

Mr Lai, who had originally planned to retire in two years, told The Straits Times he brought forward the decision after his wife suffered a fall. He now spends most of his time caring for her.

He reached out to Ms Chen, 40, a fellow Hakka and advocate of Hakka culture whom he had met at a clan association event. He recalled being impressed by her deep knowledge of Hakka cuisine and her culinary skills.

it’s mostly wank and yank at wan yang.

 

[Sustanon]

seems like the goal is to grab as much money as possible before the premeditated closure.... very much like alot of gyms here too.... now you want your money back, good luck playing games with them. The intention is to wear you down till you give up.... best is to pay per visit....

Not surprised at Wan Yang's closure, they are charging 60-70% extra per service line item compared to their competitors.

Opening massage parlour with $10K packages and close within a month nao!!!

 

[knowwhatyouwantinlife]

Seriously why are Sgreans so lazy esp when it comes to financial risk? Obviously pay per use is a safer option

 

[bobby]

Nice A cups….very fuckable

 

[Pinkieslut]

Got check colour service in that spa?

 

[Hightech88]

Are these farking spa/salon etc. will from time to time face cashflow issues - could be due to owe rental, owner lost monies thru gambling bad investments etc.

Solution? Rather than borrow from banks or ah long, best way is to take free loans from customers under the guise of packages.
One customer $7K, 200 is already $1.4M, it's farking free monies dropping in from the sky, best scam ever LOL.

What is 'check colour service'?

 

[Scrooball (clone)]

$7k earned for doing nothing. Just need to do sudden closure. That’s the easiest way for anyone to scam. And what’s the implications anyway for them? They can declare they don’t have money and we all know consumer rights are a joke in Singapore.
