Why not just push for HDB to regulate changes of use at the next lease renewal instead?

 

[coyote]

Never control rent , end up all lease to massage parlour ... Mall should ensure varieties of services to the community. Better take back n fine gaogao

How on earth will controlling rental deter massage parlors??? Totally no realtionship right?

 

[lalalalalala]

Wow so easy can get buyout from govt one ah?

Those struggling hawker should offer massage service get buyout and retire. Don't need 4am wake up prepare the chicken rice

 

[nachtsid.er]

Oh no going to sweep 333?

 

[Whimsica]

Act virgin ah?

Even when LKY was around there were health centres and massage parlours.

Difference is last time these were regulated and police spot check regularly.

Now gahmen leaves most things to private sector, industry self regulation and market forces.

So the changes required is for gahmen to take back control.

Like hawker centres, public transport, HDB shops, shophouses, security, ambulance etc.

And instead of letting vice activities go underground/ guerilla, allow + check regularly, like 20-30 yrs ago.

 

[dhlnsz]

All around Singapore. Must ban massage parlours and deport the illicit masseurs.

Bakery, tailor, sundries, bicycle, ,hardware, paint, horticulture, pet/fish/bird shop etc all earn differently. High rent how to sustain? alternative richer company may not want to take over the spot.

You have not been a landlord or tenant for shop before right? There's no such thing as who has thicker wallets because massage parlors will not openly announce they are providing "special services. They probably just say they are doing TCM tui nah or whatever. If the landlord ask for very high price beyond the norm and they just happily accepted it, it will likely flag some AML checks to the agrnt also... All these should be hush hush ... If you are not happy, just report them to the authorities for them to check.

 

[nonameless]

China tenant have thick wallet expanding restaurant island wide. Capitaland ensure balance of services in its mall unless they have themed mall like FNB main mall, IT mall, luxury mall. Rent also varies according to services, ntuc and Uniqlo probably paid differently even have same floor size.

 

[sAVaGEmP5]

Why not just legalised special and happy ending.

I really love it sinkie pawn sinkie mentality, when u see an adult or kid happy, take that away n cause mental health and make them suicide n jump.

Let ppl have more money, those can happy ending let it end. The poor n impotent so jelly ?

Residents concerned about vice activities at Tanjong Pagar Plaza, MP aims to ‘refresh’ retail mix​

Community Latest News
The high concentration of massage parlours and beauty salons has made parents uneasy, said MP Foo Cexiang.

Several residents have expressed fears that this would affect the building’s reputation, said the area’s MP Foo Cexiang in a Facebook post on Saturday (20 Sept).

Parents ‘uneasy’ when children pass by these establishments​

Mr Foo, an MP for Tanjong Pagar GRC, noted that there are also several pre-schools in TPP, with parents feeling “uneasy” when their children go past the massage parlours and beauty salons.

While the majority of these businesses operate legitimately, a few of them are “casting a bad light” on the building, he pointed out.

This results in reputational harm as residents, customers and potential businesses are turned away, he said, adding:

When the reputation of TPP is affected, it will affect the overall business viability of the other tenants, which in turn will affect the residents who depend on this mall to meet their daily needs.

Police have conducted vice raids in Tanjong Pagar Plaza​

The police have conducted checks and raids on several of these massage establishments in recent months, Mr Foo said.

Those found guilty of engaging in vice activities have been dealt with, and the police will ramp up enforcement action.

However, action is usually taken only against the masseurs and business owners, but not the shop owners, as they are less likely to be complicit in the vice activities.

Thus, the shop owners may just rent their units to other business owners in similar trades, Mr Foo added.

Only such businesses can afford high rental​

The MP explained that it’s “not so straightforward” to address the long-standing problem, as although TPP is owned by HDB, it has “limited regulatory levers” over a significant number of the shop owners in the building.

This is because these owners bought their shops from HDB in the 1990s for leases of about 80 years, he said.

As they want to maximise their rental income, only a handful of businesses can afford to pay such high rent — massage establishments and beauty salons, among others.

This is due to the “relatively low footfall” in the building, Mr Foo added.

MP aims to ‘refresh’ Tanjong Pagar Plaza retail mix​

In an effort to find a solution, Mr Foo intends to “refresh the retail mix” in TPP, he said.

This week, he met representatives from the police, HDB, TPP Traders Association and Town Council to discuss a strategy.

Firstly, he asked the police and the Ministry of Home Affairs to consider increasing their upfront regulatory levers over such establishments.

He also asked HDB and the Ministry of National Development to consider buying back the leases of shops. This is “so that HDB is better able to curate the trade mix of shops and respond to resident needs”, he added.

To that end, he has already raised a Parliamentary Question about this for the upcoming Parliament sitting.

Finally, the TPP Traders Association will think about drawing potential businesses to open in TPP, “potentially some lighter F&B outfits”, so that the complex will have a better retail mix to attract more customers.

Transformation will take several years​

But Mr Foo warned that the process will not be swift, with the transformation likely taking “several years”.

They are, however, “determined” to achieve this, with support from stakeholders and residents, he said, adding:
