Massage In S'pore Must Be Conducted In Full View Of Public!

In case you thought there has been a change of heart in the Singapore authorities and they have started encouraging 'tiger shows', I'm sorry to disappoint you.

The super prudish morality goons in Singapore have actually tightened up regulations there. And now it is ok to get a massage, but as a preventive measure, in case you are tempted to ask for some 'extras', which according to our 'lions' of the South is a big no-no, the entire process of displaying the techniques and 'skills' of the masseuse must be done in front of an audience of fellow customers! The era of private massages in the Lion City has been officially executed at dawn, without appeal. Aah, what a wonderful way to spend your cash in Singapore, especially for exhibitionists and voyeurs. Read on....

....Singapore police have begun cracking down on massage parlours as the island state enforces new and stricter rules on such establishments, including requiring massage services to be administered in full view of the public. In a series of checks on such establishments over the weekend, police arrested 77 Chinese, Malaysian and Thai nationals who were illegally employed as masseurs in 37 massage parlours in housing estates around the island.

Singapore police deputy director of operations Raymond Yeo said police would continue their enforcement checks on massage establishments. "These are aimed at ensuring that the establishments are either operating with a valid licence or qualify for exemption under the law." Presently, establishments that conduct their massage services in full view of other patrons or employ only certified massage therapists need not apply for a licence from the police.

From June 26, however, these establishments must meet a new set of requirements before they can qualify for exemption, including to ensure that the massage services are conducted in full view of the public, police said .Operators must also ensure that there is no room, partition, cubicle or any form of separation device that allows massage services to be administered in private and outside the view of other customers in the premises.

The new rules also requires employees not to dress indecently or tout for business or loiter outside the premises. In addition, only Singapore citizens and permanent residents and Malaysians with valid work permits are to be employed in massage parlours. From January to May 2006, a total of 149 massage parlours were found to have flouted the exemption conditions. Police had also arrested some 50 women for vice activities in massage establishments this year.
