A night out at one of Singapore’s most popular nightlife venues took a troubling turn after local DJ Jade Rasif alleged she was inappropriately touched during an event at Marquee Singapore.
The incident reportedly occurred during an after-party linked to British rapper Central Cee, drawing attention to safety concerns within crowded nightlife environments in Singapore.
What began as a social evening among friends escalated into an uncomfortable situation involving unwanted physical contact and confrontation with other partygoers.
Rejected Advances and Escalating Situation in Crowded Venue
According to accounts shared on social media, Jade was positioned near the DJ console at a table with friends when she encountered a group standing behind her.
She alleged that one individual from the group repeatedly attempted to pull her towards their table, grabbing her arm despite her rejecting the advances. The situation appeared to intensify as the night progressed, with increasing movement and crowding around the elevated seating area.
At one point, she noticed someone attempting to climb onto the platform she was standing on, which she described as potentially dangerous given the crowded conditions. Despite raising concerns, the activity around her reportedly continued.
Such incidents highlight ongoing challenges faced in nightlife settings, where crowd control and personal space can become difficult to manage during high-profile events.

The situation took a more serious turn when Jade claimed she was touched inappropriately while facing away from the group. She described the experience as prolonged and deeply distressing, stating that it occurred over several minutes.
In addition to the alleged contact, she also reported having a drink thrown at her, leaving her clothing soaked. A video she recorded later showed individuals in the crowd making offensive gestures, further adding to the tension.
To avoid escalation, Jade said she chose to disengage and leave the immediate area, prioritising her safety over confrontation.
The incident has sparked wider discussions about personal safety, harassment, and accountability within Singapore’s nightlife and entertainment scene.
Police Report Filed as Online Dispute Emerges
Following the incident, Jade lodged a police report and shared details online in an effort to gather information about those involved. However, the situation took another turn when individuals allegedly connected to the incident denied involvement and called for her posts to be removed.
She also reported receiving messages that included threats of legal action, as well as accusations that she was seeking attention. Despite this, Jade maintained that her intention was to clarify the facts and pursue the matter through proper legal channels.
Authorities have not publicly disclosed further details, as investigations are ongoing.
Calls for Greater Nightlife Safety and Accountability
The incident has reignited conversations around safety standards in Singapore’s nightlife industry, particularly in high-density venues hosting international acts.
While venues like Marquee are known for their security measures, situations involving crowd behaviour remain a concern. Industry observers note that both venue operators and patrons play a role in maintaining a safe environment.
Jade has since taken down some of her initial posts and urged the public not to speculate or target individuals online. She emphasised that a sincere apology could have helped de-escalate the situation, but instead encountered denial and legal threats.
As the case develops, it underscores the importance of respectful conduct and clear accountability in social settings, especially in environments where large crowds and alcohol are involved.
