HDB RESIDENT DULAN BECAUSE EATERY DOWNSTAIRS EVERY NIGHT KARAOKE UNTIL 1AM

Where can I report an F&B doing loud karaoke at midnight?

A Chinese F&B shop beneath my residential place setup few dining tables outside of the shop, setup a big –s audio player outside and started doing karaoke at 9pm-1am.

When not singing they were cheering, shouting and clapping. I can still clearly their voice through earplug.

Tried calling police 2x and had the shop’s detail taken. It has been better for a few days, but today they start singing at 1am until now at 2am. I went down, took video, made another call today.

Any idea which agency should I make this report to? I have written to SPF with video evidence and NEA.

If they have license to operate entertainment and alcohol at midnight, shouldn’t the agency consider the residential complex around them?

• If the police have acted. And they still same. Most likely they have a valid license to operate till late night?
  I cant imagine our police will hesitate to close “these” places… If u go out chiong enuf, u will always see police raiding places… But as long as these establishment is legal legit, the police can’t do anything unless something real major happen.
  • (OP) I had similar thought as well. Based on what I read, the license to operate entertainment and alcohol are issued by SPF, but there is a footnote that consideration of the surrounding will be assessed.
    I assume that police or any agency that issue the license won’t allow outdoor midnight karaoke at a residential building as it breach the permitted noise level. Another possibility is they play hide and seek. They usually start between 9-11pm, only today they started at 1am and packed up at 2am.
    • I’ve chiong for like 20yrs… In ur case ah, the police raid that place. If they got a valid license, they can’t do much… Juz most likely raid the place for illegal workers, study permit students etc.
