Andy Wong is a political and business intelligence analyst based in Singapore.
Singapore is currently in the midst of its largest domestic COVID surge, with 192 cases directly linked to an outbreak centered around the country's karaoke lounges, known as KTVs.
Most of these KTVs are not innocent family-friendly affairs: Like another outbreak in Taiwan earlier this year, they are fronts for illegal brothels run by organized crime cartels.
But this latest outbreak goes deeper than just the evident public health crisis. It has exposed the pernicious role of organized vice enterprises in Singapore, and the institutional failure of the country's much-vaunted law enforcement to clamp down on them.
It is an open secret that despite a reputation for being hard on crime and moral policing, KTV-fronted illegal brothels employing freelance hostesses, or sex workers, have been operating in Singapore for decades.
Run behind the scenes by the same organized crime groups, these illegal brothels have become a normalized, even integral, part of many business dealings -- particularly among local and mainland Chinese business communities -- as well as serving as money laundering fronts for the criminal enterprises bankrolling their operations.
The KTVs are not just playgrounds for the rich. They draw regular patrons from all segments of society, including uniformed military leaders and civil servants alike. Numbering in the hundreds before the pandemic, such establishments -- and the foreign women employed there -- were tolerated by the authorities in addition to Singapore's "official" red-light district of Geylang.
After closing down Geylang at the beginning of the pandemic, authorities did the same for KTVs. Then, without explanation, KTVs were allowed to reopen under the pretense of pivoting toward becoming "bistros" after August 2020. But the officially tolerated Geylang district, where government control and oversight is overt, remains closed.
Singapore authorities have now belatedly increased punitive raids on bistro KTVs, arrested some illegal sex workers and imposed a blanket shutdown on all such pivoted businesses. These measures have been lambasted as too little, too late by a public now suffering under yet another round of lockdown measures, including renewed bans on dining in and group gathering sizes reduced to two.
Questions are also being asked as to who signed off on the conversion of known KTV fronts into so-called bistros, something they were never designed to function as.
Who allowed such shocking lapses of oversight of such businesses, and why were complaints from family-friendly, legal KTVs about the resurgence of illegal KTV brothels ignored? So far, Singapore's government, with its no-blame culture track record and unbridled ability to blame the public for any spike in COVID cases, has not been forthcoming when it comes to answers.
Most foreign sex workers in Singapore are employed illegally after entering the country on short-term visitor or student visas, despite multiple efforts over the years to clamp down on such abuses. How such individuals manage to enter and stay in Singapore despite the dearth of international travel and tight border controls during the pandemic is an institutional failure that bodes ill for the country's efforts to reopen in a controlled fashion and somehow balance international connectivity with safeguarding against new COVID variants.
Some of the sex workers linked with the latest KTV outbreak entered Singapore via the Familial Ties Lane, or FTL, which opened in October last year, claiming either business or intimate ties with Singaporean boyfriends to gain entry. After questions were asked about the FTL's existence in parliament in February, the category of boyfriend/girlfriend was abruptly removed from the FTL process a month later without explanation.
But hundreds of people had already entered the country and disappeared into the underground vice industry, many of them plying their trades in KTV brothels until the latest outbreak. This has rightly angered not just Singapore's local population, but the sizable expatriate community working and living here.

Ever since the start of the pandemic in April 2020, Singapore's population has been heavily restricted from any sort of overseas travel and subjected to inconvenient quarantine periods upon return. Locals are not able to travel freely, nor easily apply for foreign relatives to visit Singapore. Expatriates have been forced to choose between keeping their jobs in Singapore or visiting family in their home countries without concrete reassurances of being allowed back in.
Meanwhile, foreign sex workers faking familial ties and other travel purposes have been allowed to enter by a government known for its overzealous pandemic controls. As usual, no one has provided any answers. Nor has the Ministry of Home Affairs, the sole overseer of vice policing and the city-state's border controls, taken responsibility for this institutional failure and the evident border policy loophole.
The latest COVID outbreak not only necessitates a plan for Singapore to lift domestic restrictions and reestablish international connectivity, but demands that its leaders take responsibility for the institutional failures that caused it. Watching disingenuous ministers feign retrospective shock and surprise at how the latest outbreak occurred no longer cuts it.
Decades of institutional failures in dealing with the organized crime cartels running illegal KTV brothels have not only seriously damaged public health, but have significantly set back Singapore's public relations campaign to demonstrate that it has the pandemic under control.

Singapore
By Aqil Haziq Mahmud
28 Jul 2021 10:35PM(Updated: 29 Jul 2021 12:06AM)
SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Wednesday (Jul 28) rebutted a Nikkei Asia opinion piece criticising the Government's handling of KTV lounges amid the COVID-19 pandemic, calling it "full of inaccuracies".
The article was written by Mr Andy Wong, a political and business intelligence analyst based in Singapore according to the Japanese news website. It was published on Jul 23 titled The Institutional Failures Behind Singapore's Latest COVID Outbreak.
In the piece, Mr Wong alleged that "decades of institutional failures" in dealing with the "organised crime cartels running illegal KTV brothels" have derailed Singapore's efforts in bringing the pandemic under control.
He also urged the Government to "explain what went wrong and how".
As of Wednesday, there were 247 cases linked to the KTV lounges cluster, which sprung up as authorities were about to ease COVID-19 restrictions.
In a statement on Wednesday, MHA's senior director of the joint operations group Sam Tee said the article was "full of inaccuracies", and that Mr Wong's comments should be "based on facts, not imagined realities".
"First, you state that most KTVs in Singapore are fronts for money laundering or 'illegal brothels run by organised crime cartels'. Your correspondent does not explain how he came to this conclusion," he said.
Mr Tee rejected the allegation, highlighting that Singapore has laws against organised crime, money laundering, and trafficking-in-persons.
"Singapore is one of the least likely places in the world to find organised crime syndicates running operations. The 2020 Gallup Global Law and Order Report ranked Singapore first for law and order, for the seventh year running," he said.
Mr Tee added that the Government is aware that sex workers visit KTVs and other places to solicit patrons, but it is unable to prevent people from meeting in these places.
"But any sexual activity in these premises will be a breach of licensing conditions," he said.
Furthermore, Mr Tee said the police deal with such breaches via regular enforcement.
From 2018 to 2020, the police checked nearly 3,000 nightlife outlets and arrested over 1,000 people, he said, adding that operators were punished, and foreign offenders deported.
The Government also welcomes visitors to Singapore, he said, but it is aware that some seek entry for purposes of prostitution.
"This is not allowed under our entry conditions," he stated. "While we take all efforts to turn away dubious travellers, there is no foolproof way of determining this upfront."
ADDRESSING ALLEGATIONS
In the Nikkei Asia article, Mr Wong said: "Questions are also being asked as to who signed off on the conversion of known KTV fronts into so-called bistros, something they were never designed to function as."
Nightlife establishments have not been allowed to operate due to the COVID-19 pandemic but they were given the green light to pivot to food and beverage (F&B) venues.
Responding to Mr Wong's allegation that KTVs were allowed to reopen “without explanation”, Mr Tee said that this is false.
Nightlife activities had been disallowed since March last year, he said, meaning many livelihoods were at risk.
The Government had explained the considerations in Parliament for allowing some to reopen, not as KTVs but as F&B outlets, he said, adding that the authorities had also made public statements announcing the move.
"Your correspondent made sweeping statements, without basic checks," Mr Tee said.
On Monday, Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam had explained in Parliament the Government's reasons behind allowing KTV venues to reopen as F&B outlets.
Mr Shanmugam mentioned the Nikkei Asia article, which he said suggested that the Government was "in cahoots" with the KTV lounges, was "quite unbalanced".
On the point in the article that the Government “belatedly increased punitive raids” on KTV lounges following the outbreak, Mr Tee said on Wednesday that there has, on the contrary, been regular enforcement.
Since October last year, the police have conducted over 200 operations in addition to operations by other agencies, he said.
"Several of these were widely publicised when the law-breakers were brought to court," he added.
Mr Tee also rebutted the article's claim that the “Boyfriend/Girlfriend” category was "abruptly and without explanation" removed from the Familial Ties Lane for immigration entry.
The option to enter Singapore via the familial ties lane for boyfriends or girlfriends of citizens and permanent residents came under the spotlight when it was revealed that the first reported COVID-19 case in the KTV lounges cluster arrived in February under this category.
The Vietnamese short-term visit pass holder was sponsored by a Singapore citizen who indicated in the application that he was her boyfriend, said the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) on Jul 16.
ICA said that it removed the category in view of the evolving border control measures, and as part of its regular reviews on the requirements and application processes for travellers seeking entry into Singapore.
On Wednesday, Mr Tee said that the ICA and police had explained on Jul 16 and Jul 20 respectively, details of why the “boyfriend/girlfriend” category was introduced and subsequently removed, and the enforcement operations undertaken.
Mr Tee concluded by saying that the cluster linked to KTV lounges has been "swiftly contained", with about five new cases linked to it each day from Jul 22 to Jul 26, a figure that is also declining.
The cluster was not the reason why the Government re-imposed stricter safe distancing measures on Jul 22, he continued. This was due to spread into fresh food markets which had the potential for a wider outbreak.
"Your correspondent’s stance appears to be based on a stern disapproval of illegal sexual activity," Mr Tee said.
"We commend his high moral expectations. But his comments on public policies need to be based on facts, not imagined realities."
The Straits Times has identified the writer as one of four men charged in court earlier on Wednesday with possessing or transmitting obscene materials through a Telegram chat group.

4 men charged over obscene material in Telegram group, including leaked sex videos

28 Jul 2021 11:30AM(Updated: 28 Jul 2021 01:50PM)
SINGAPORE: Four men were charged in court on Wednesday (Jul 28) for possessing or transmitting obscene materials through a Telegram chat group.
The group, called "Sam's lots of CB collection", contained leaked sex videos, nude photos of women and exploitative videos circulated without the women's consent.
Wong Ming Jun, 28, was given 11 charges of possessing and transmitting obscene materials, while Tan Yeow Chong, 40, was given seven similar charges.
Malaysian national and Singapore permanent resident Yee Wing Kay, 46, received 10 charges and Lincoln Anthony Fernandez, 30, was handed six charges.
Tan is accused of possessing almost 20,000 obscene videos and more than 7,000 obscene images. He also allegedly sent six obscene pictures to the chat group on Nov 4, 2019.
Yee is accused of having 18 obscene videos and 72 obscene pictures in his phone at his Bishan flat. He allegedly sent some to the chat group.
Fernandez is accused of having 118 obscene videos and 406 obscene photos in his phone at his Yishun flat. He also allegedly sent obscene photos to the Telegram chat group.
Wong, the youngest of the four, is accused of possessing more than 2,400 obscene videos and 1,880 obscene images at his Jurong West flat.
The police said in a statement that they had received a report against the Telegram group on Oct 24, 2019.
They arrested four men responsible for the upkeep of the channel and the distribution of the obscene contents on Nov 6, 2019.
Subsequent investigations revealed that three of the men are likely administrators of the group, while the fourth advertised the sale of the obscene materials.
Electronic devices were seized from the four men, and obscene materials including thousands of video files and pictures were uncovered via forensic examination and extensive investigations.
The police said they take a very serious view of sexual exploitation of women perpetuated through such illegal chat groups. They advised members of the public not to join such groups and instead to report them to the police.
The case comes after four men were sentenced in court for their involvement in obscene Telegram chat group SG Nasi Lemak.
They were given varying sentences including a mandatory treatment order, nine weeks' jail and a fine and probation.
The penalties for possessing obscene films are a maximum jail term of six months, a fine of up to S$20,000, or both.
For transmitting obscene material, an offender can be jailed up to three months, fined, or both.
The four men charged on Wednesday will return to court at a later date.

It is an open secret that before the police raid any KTV establishment they will call the owner first to tell him.

MHA saying that KTV are not gang related business and not part of moneylaundering and human trafficking

CECA is good for Singapore and pundeks are not taking jobs away from citizens and these talented pundeks are not using fake qualifications.

There are 2 issues here..
The ktv-underworld link has always been an open secret. It bothered no one until this covid cluster shit hit the fan. I'm not a supporter of the establishment but Andy Wong is fucker for politicising this.
Secondly, wjy did the Straights Times highlight Andy's ongoing conviction at the end of the article when it has nothing to with the issues brought up? Just shows the faggots are unprofessional and incapable of arguing the point without resorting to character assassination.

The oldest trick in the book:

See number 2: Ad hominem
P.S: If Sinkie primary school kids were taught about those common logical fallacies, when they reach voting age the PAP will be voted out. Because the media no longer can hypnotize them.
PS #2: Keep it up Shitty Times and 160th. Won't be long before you reach China's or North Korea's RSF rankings.
