A total of 49 people were arrested during a month-long enforcement operation against public entertainment outlets and massage establishments in Chinatown, Central Mall, Bugis, Jalan Besar and Little India.

The operation was conducted by the Central Police Division.

Fourteen public entertainment outlets were found to have breached Covid-19 regulations and/or liquor licence conditions.

There were also 16 massage establishments found to have operated without a licence. Five were found to be providing sexual services too.

Another five massage establishments were found to have contravened the Massage Establishment Rules 2018.

The police said in a news release yesterday that 34 women and five men, aged between 21 and 42, were arrested for offences under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act.
