Around 6,700 people were checked, with the authorities arresting 523, including women who had allegedly offered sexual services.
More recently, the police and other agencies embarked on a four-day anti-crime blitz from Feb 28 to March 2, again targeting entertainment outlets. In total, 62 individuals were arrested, including 12 women for allegedly providing sexual services.
Tourist visas
ST visited the pub in Circular Road over four days. Even on a rainy weekday, when there were few pub crawlers out, the women sat outside the bar for hours, often without drinks.
Some girls were seen darting inside the closed-door bar whenever a police car drove by. A neighbouring tenant, who did not want to be identified, said the bar moved in only about five months ago.
On March 6, ST observed two patrons entering the bar at close to midnight. Three Caucasian women, who were sitting outside, followed the men inside immediately.
About 15 women were spotted every night gathered outside the bar in tight-fitting clothes and heavy make-up.
Some of the women were around 22 years old, and on tourist visas. They said they work six days a week, from 8pm until closing time at 3am.
The women stay in two separate apartments, a residential unit in Orchard Towers and another in Geylang. They said their boss “managed” them but they declined to identify her.
ST understands the women had previously worked at another bar at Orchard Towers, where nightlife outlets once flourished but ceased public entertainment operations after May 31, 2023.
The pub in Circular Road was the only entertainment outlet in the area where Eastern European women were gathered.
A man, who identified himself as one of the directors of the pub, said their clientele largely comprised Caucasian men and people who work in the Boat Quay area.
He initially denied the women were working at the pub, saying they were mostly guests.
But he added: “From what I understand, as long as they have an employment pass, they can work (at the pub).”
He then said he will have to check with his operations team if women on tourist visas were working at the pub.
Foreigners intending to work in Singapore must have valid work visas.
