A Bangladeshi lady arrived in Singapore believing that an agency had arranged for her to work as a maid, but to her horror the job ended up her as a dancer at a club located in Kampong Bharu.
The bosses of the club offered her SGD$1,000 to have sex with his acquaintance but after she refused, she was slapped. The woman then reported to the Police resulting in the conviction of the club owners.
The case eventually was conducted in the high court,
Owners of the clubs:
Rajendran Nagarethinam – four charges
Arumaikannu Sasikumar – three charges
Both of them appealed against their sentences Rajendran sucessfully reduced his sentence from 30 month to 19 months jail and $3,000 fine to $2,500
Sasikumars appealed was rejected and he still faces 16 months jail and SGD$11,000 fine.
The judged ruled that the club owners hired the woman for prostitution.
This is not the first time such a case happened, back in 2017 a similar incident happened at Boat Quay
