SINGAPORE - The smell of cigarettes and alcohol was palpable as police officers raided a gambling den located in a good class bungalow (GCB) at 1am on March 7.
Twelve people, mostly Chinese nationals, huddled around a table as the media entered a room on the second floor of the house in Jalan Kampong Chantek in Bukit Timah.
They were arrested during the raid led by Tanglin Police Division.

It was one of several anti-crime operations conducted between March 5 and 8 by the police, the Housing Board and the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority.

Six areas were hit – Toa Payoh, Novena, Bukit Timah Road, Orchard Road, Balestier Road and Selegie Road.

A total of 62 people – 29 men and 33 women – aged between 18 and 73 years old are being investigated for various offences, including illegal gambling and working at massage parlours.

When police officers raided the GCB, a group comprising three women and nine men were playing “jiu tong”, a popular game in China involving mahjong tiles.

ST understands the bungalow was rented by a tenant who allegedly ran the gambling den.

Checks by ST showed bungalows in the area are worth between $10 million and $20 million.


The gambling den was in a room adjacent to a living room, where some of the suspects were being questioned.

The room had a 10-seater dining table with built-in induction cookers.

More than 30 bottles of alcohol, including at least 15 bottles of Moutai, a Chinese liquor that costs about $500 to $600 a bottle, were displayed on a shelf. Cans of beer and packets of cigarettes were strewn around the room.

Officers seized mobile phones and gambling-related paraphernalia.

An ambulance arrived at the bungalow at about 2.30am to take one of the suspects, a woman in her 20s, to a hospital as she felt unwell.
