The Singapore Police Force said earlier today that the public entertainment and liquor licenses for 9 nightlife and F&B outlets have been revoked for breaching safe management measures “repeatedly and egregiously”.
Among the outlets are MZS Family Karaoke and H.O.M at Ming Arcade and The Idle at Infinite Studios at 21 Media Circle.
Steamov Steamboat Buffet Restaurant at Beach Road, Darts Legend at 29 Media Circle and Haru Bar at Central Mall have had their liquor licenses revoked.
The police said that the people running the establishments were found to have breached SMMs repeatedly.
The establishments were also issued with closure orders of between 10 to 30 days, as well as the possibility of fines and prosecution.
The police said:
“These breaches included the failure to minimise physical interactions between staff and customers, to ensure group sizes did not exceed the prevailing cap on social gatherings, to cease on-site sale and consumption of liquor after 10.30pm, and the provision of dice and card games within the permitted premises.
Given the repeated and egregious nature of these breaches, the police have taken action to revoke their public entertainment and liquor licences under the Public Entertainments Act 1958 and the Liquor Control (Supply and Consumption) Act 2015 respectively
The police have zero tolerance for irresponsible behaviour relating to the flouting of these measures and offenders will be dealt with firmly in accordance with the law.”
