SINGAPORE — Eight nightlife and food-and-beverage (F&B) establishments have had their public entertainment or liquor licences revoked after “repeatedly and egregiously” breaking Covid-19 regulations, the police said on Tuesday (Oct 12).
The eight establishments were found to be repeat offenders during enforcement checks by government agencies. They provided hostessing services, failed to ensure that group sizes did not exceed the prevailing two-person cap on social gatherings, and provided dice games and cards.
“Given the repeated and egregious nature of these breaches, the police have taken action to revoke their public entertainment and liquor licences,” the statement read.
Five of the eight establishments had both their public entertainment and liquor licences revoked. They were:
Club Peaches and Club One Min, both located at Concorde Hotel on Orchard Road
Club Mao by Barcode at The Oriental Plaza on New Bridge Road
HooHa Cafe at Viva Vista mall on South Buona Vista Road
Cheers Up at 2 Havelock Road
The other three had their liquor licences revoked. They were:
Adamouse at 83 Club Street
Alive@SG at Lucky Plaza on Orchard Road
Tangmen at Orchard Plaza
All eight have been issued with closure orders for periods ranging from 10 to 30 days and may be liable for prosecution as well as composition notices for the breaches.
Individuals and operators found guilty of flouting Covid-19 laws shall be liable to a jail term of up to six months or a fine of up to S$10,000, or both.
The police reminded the public and businesses to take the prevailing Covid-19 rulings seriously because there will be “zero tolerance for irresponsible behaviour relating to the flouting of these measures and offenders will be dealt with firmly in accordance with the law”.
