Tan Tze Tong was jailed two weeks for owning an illegal massage establishement which provided sexual services. Tan Tzer Tong pleaded guilty midway through a trial to two charges under the Massage Establishment Act. The court heard that the two Singaporeans were involved with 5 Star Beauty Centre at 98A Tanjong Pagar Road, which was originally located at Serangoon Garden Way before Tan moved its premises in May , following a police raid a few months earlier.
During the raid in March , the police found a masseuse engaging in sexual intercourse in a room. Investigations revealed that a year-old man had made an appointment with the masseuse, Ms Chen Yu Die, through a text message after getting her mobile number from a website that advertised her services. Ms Chen massaged his back for a brief moment before they had sex in a room. A few months after the establishment opened at Tanjong Pagar, the police conducted a check there and seized several mobile phones, as well as several used and new condoms.
Seven women, including two masseuses, were arrested. The mobile phones contained profiles of these women, which were tied to online advertisements of them offering massage and sexual services at 5 Star. Tan was its registered owner and sometimes visited to collect daily earnings as well as disburse salaries to the masseuses working there. Her lawyer, Mr Paul, who goes by only one name, told the court that Ma, who is from China, has been in Singapore for more than a decade.
