The salon also responded in the comments section of some videos, calling out the negativity, and questioning if it is "racial discrimination" against a particular nationality, and asking why "boycott a normal business".
ST reporter's account
The ST reporter was reportedly asked if he wanted additional massage services when he paid the salon a visit.
Once he was led inside, the woman took his hand and placed it on her chest.
When he laid down for the hair wash, a few other women begun to touch his limbs to induce him to pay for a full-body massage.
He rejected their offer.
One women reportedly even offered to accompany him to a more private area.
She apparently whispered to him that he could do "whatever you like" and that she could "look after him" for an hour.
These antics were reportedly part of the modus operandi the women employed: They would proposition men who walked by and take those agreeable to the back of the salons once the rates are discussed.
Legit salons in the area told Shin Min that it is easy to tell apart legit salons from those that provide illicit services.
However, operators of legit salons harbour the worry that foreigners might be mistaken that all salons in Geylang might be fronts for illicit activities.
Police response
According to Shin Min, the Singapore police said they have carried out operations in Geylang in the past year and will continue to carry out enforcement checks and raids to curb vice activities.
In Singapore, hair salons are not allowed to provide massage services unless explicitly allowed to do so by the authorities.
A massage establishment licence is required if a business intends to provide massage services in an establishment.
Under the Massage Establishment Act (MEA), a "massage" is defined as “the act of rubbing, kneading or manipulating the human body or any part of it, by any person (whether or not using any hand-held equipment), for the purpose of relaxing muscle tension, stimulating circulation, increasing suppleness or otherwise".
The MEA was introduced in 2017 to prevent massage establishments from "being used as fronts for vice activities and causing law and order problems".
This was following a 40 per cent increase in the number of unlicensed massage establishments found between 2013 and 2016, many of which were fronts for vice activities.
Under the MEA, those operating unlicensed massage establishment will receive a fine of up to S$10,000 or imprisonment of up to two years or both.
Punishment for subsequent convictions will be more than doubled, with a fine up to S$20,000 or imprisonment of up to five years or both.
