Public
Entertainment Licence Required For Paid Bar Top Dancers |
|
Bar
top dancing has taken popularity in a number of
entertainment outlets since the relaxation of rules by the
police. We would like to take this opportunity to draw
attention to aspects of bar top dancing following queries
from the media.
Some
entertainment outlets may be using the services of paid
dancers to perform on bar-tops, sometimes together with
patrons. Police would like to clarify that where there is
the use of paid dancers by the operator to perform on
bar-tops, this is considered a form of live entertainment in
which a separate public entertainment licence is required.
Police
would also like to remind entertainment outlet operators
that licensing conditions do not allow for performers to
mingle with patrons unless express permission has been
sought from the Police Licensing Division. Police will only
allow mingling if the performer has been endorsed by the
Singapore Tourism Board.
Police
seeks the compliance by operators of the licensing
conditions and will be conducting checks to ensure
compliance. We will take summons action against those who
are in breach of the conditions. Operators in need of
clarification or further information should enquire with the
Public Entertainment Licensing Unit (PELU) at 65575819 or
65575823

Five
nightclub operators have banded together to form the Pub and Club
Industry Panel (PCIP) to facilitate better communication between
the industry and the authorities, such as the police and the
Ministry of Manpower. Together, the five operators run close to 20
establishments. (Straits

The
old Goods & Services Tax (GST) of 3 per cent will be charged
until 7am on 1 Jan 2003 when the new 5-per-cent rate comes into
effect. The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (Iras) said

after midnight. (Straits

Barricades
went up on Monday at the back alley near popular Boat Quay pubs to
block access to cars and delivery trucks at night following a
meeting last Friday between the Boat Quay Business Association,
the police and the Land Transport Authority. The security
measure at Boat Quay, a popular entertainment strip for Western
tourists and expatriates, comes in the wake of the Oct 12 Bali
bomb blasts. (Straits

An
ex-pub director was acquitted of allowing two men to dance on the
bar top at the Manchester United-themed Devil's Bar in Orchard
Parade Hotel on May 5 at about 1.45am. Ms KUO Po, 39, who is
no longer with the pub, was allowed to compound the offence and
paid a S$500 fine. The case of bar-top dancing attracted
letters to the Forum Page as well as the attention of Prime
Minister GOH Chok Tong who remarked last month that allowing
bar-top dancing might be conducive to creativity. (Straits

From 1 Sep
2001, public-entertainment outlets, such as discos and
computer-game arcades, will be fined if they break licensing
rules. Those who breach licensing conditions on various
matters, such as closure time, can be fined either S$500 or S$750
immediately. Offenders will be given demerit points which can
cause them to lose their licences if they collect 24 points in two
years. Those who want more information can call (65) 557 5823 or
557 5819. (Straits Times 31 Aug 2001) (H7) |

Tan Kim San, 48, and his
wife, Yap Kwee Chin, 47 - the owners of Green Garden Bar Restaurant in
Serangoon Road - were fined S$6500 each for their roles in a scam in
which cheap brandy was poured into Martell and Hennessy bottles, and
then sold as the genuine liquor. In a district court on 8 Nov 2000,
Tan's brother Tan Kim Teong admitted trying to defraud the Government of
customs duties and not paying GST by bottling the liquors illegally in
the attic of the restaurant since June last year. He was fined a total
of S$61,500. The racket was exposed when a team of customs officers
raided the Green Garden Restaurant on 23 Oct 2000 after a tip-off.
