Singapore Shing Hotel Charged For Vice


A HOTEL owner was taken to court on Wednesday for allowing prostitutes to use the hotel rooms for their trade. Siah Chen Long, 52, the licensee of Shing Hotel at Kitchener Road, admitted to contravening a regulation of the Hotels Licensing Regulations on Feb 10 (2010). A magistrate’s court heard that a police officer was keeping an eye for vice activities nearby when he saw a few women loitering outside Shing Hotel and approaching unknown male passers-by. He and his colleagues moved in after the women had checked into the hotel with men. Upon checking three rooms, they arrested three women. Investigation showed that two of the women earned between $50 and $100 by providing sexual services to men at the premises. The prosecution sought a three-week adjournment to apply to the court to revoke the licence. Siah, who will return on May 12, may be fined up to $1000 for the breach.
