According to a report by Lianhe Zaobao on March 19, 2026, the High Court has dismissed the appeal of 44-year-old Mok Suet Kwai (transliteration), upholding her 14-month jail sentence.
Key Details of the Case:
The Charges: Mok was convicted of three counts under the Women’s Charter, including procuring women for prostitution, assisting in managing a brothel, and living on the earnings of prostitution.
The Victim's Account: The case came to light after a woman, recruited to work as a masseuse in Singapore, was instead forced into sex work. She eventually escaped by stealing back her passport while Mok was asleep and reporting the matter to the police.
The Appeal: Mok appeared in the High Court on Wednesday (March 18) wearing a yellow cheongsam with her hair pinned up. She maintained her innocence, claiming she was merely a part-time cashier and not the madam.
The Verdict: The judge rejected her arguments regarding both the conviction and the sentence, ordering her to begin her 14-month jail term immediately.

In this specific legal context, the most accurate translation for 老鸨 (lǎo bǎo) is madam.
Depending on the tone or setting, here are a few ways to translate it:
Madam: The standard term for a woman who manages a brothel or procures prostitutes (used in news and court reports).
Procuress: A more formal or legal term for someone who "procures" (obtains) clients for sex workers.
Brothel keeper: A literal description of her role in managing the premises.
Mama-san: A common slang term in Southeast Asia (including Singapore) for a woman in charge of hostesses or sex workers.
