[h=1]26 Filipino women on social visit passes arrested for prostitution[/h]
At a hearing on 7 May, the Court heard that a pub on the third floor of Orchard Towers was also serving as a brothel. It offered oral sex on its premises.
26 Filipino women and 6 Singaporeans who were managing the pub, were arrested on 25 May last year.
2 of the Singaporeans have been charged and fined while 4 others have yet to be dealt with in court.
Floor manager Ng Kian Boon, 26, and bar manager Ridzawi Ali, 31, were fined $22,000 each. They had pleaded guilty to four charges of abetting pub owner Ang Boon Kwee, 42, to receive the earnings of prostitution and to one charge of assisting him to manage a brothel.
The Filipino women were working as hostesses in the pub even though they were on social visit passes.
The hostesses would encourage customers to buy her “lady” drinks. Prices ranged from $30 to $120 for each drink and the hostesses would earn 30% as commission. They were also urged to provide sexual services to earn more money – keeping half of what they were paid.
Oral sex would be performed in the pub’s three karaoke rooms at a cost of $182. If a customer wanted to have sex, he would have to pay the pub $268 for two hours of the woman’s company.
The penalty for abetting someone to live off the earnings of prostitution is a fine of up to $10,000, a jail term of up to five years, or both. For assisting in running a brothel, a person could be fined up to $3,000, jailed up to three years, or both.
