Li Hong Yi who was found drowned in a pool at sentosa covel was paid $800 after deducting commission to her mummy at the nightclub she was working.
I think $800 is only the officially "price" for the customer to book the gal overnight. Meaning a big portion goes to night club. Unoffically, the customer still got to pay extra tips for the extra service provided, which can be more
The girls these days butterfly at the posh niteclubs along Havelock Rd. The nightclubs and mamasans USUALLY don't take a cut. In the past, at Lido, it was 20% of the $500 booking/bonking fee for the mamasans. But, then it was booking not butterfly.
Last time, mamasans led the way. They had a stable full of gals. Gals follow mamasans. These days, mamasans follow the gals. Mamasans' sole duty is to call her "Roberts" to come spend $$$. Gals on stand-by mode at Havelock joints can be used by all the mamasans and they roam all over the building and not just one joint.
The invasion and proliferation of PRC meimeis completely changed the nightclub landscape. M'sian girls went back when confronted with the challenge posed by PRC gals in 2000.
