SINGAPORE: An Australian man was fined S$1,500 on Thursday for committing an obscene act in a Prinsep Street nightspot at around 11pm on Tuesday.

36-year-old Aaron Benjamin Butcher was caught with a woman performing oral sex on him inside a KTV room at the Embazy club. He could have been jailed up to three months, fined or both.

It is believed the woman, a Filipina, was one of the outlet's employees, 22-year-old Avila Rosela Mae Mallon.

Two of her colleagues, who are also Filipinas, were allegedly found inside the same KTV room with their breasts exposed. It is believed they are Lumbre Carla Jane Alaras and Cacho Jaquelyn Rosario, both 23 years old.

But the three women did not turn up in court on Thursday and warrants of arrest for them have been issued.

Channel NewsAsia understands that the trio were employed by the company that owns Embazy but they were not supposed to be working in the nightspot.

If convicted of appearing in a state of undress in a public place, Alaras and Rosario can each be jailed up to three months, fined a maximum of S$2,000, or both.

The police said the group was arrested during a licence checking operation at entertainment outlets on Tuesday evening.

big wind big wind 

I wanted to open a saving account with POSB bank. The staff there told me that if I am holding a work permit, then I need to check with my employer to see my employer has a Corporate Account with POSB. If dont have then I cannot open "Work Permit Saving Account" with them. After I checked with my employer, they do not have Corporate Account with POSB.

The staff said if I want to open saving account by my own, then I need to declare to them why I need to open my own, how may transactions per month I will make etc. And even if I declare, it is still subject to approval.

I saw their website saying that for the foreigner saving account, if balance fall under $5000 per month, I will be deducted $2 per month. I will also be deducted for $2 for each cash withdrawal.

So is there any other bank that can let me open a saving account by my own, have ATM card, NO fall-below charge, NO cash withdrawal charge, NO initial deposit (if required then the most is $500), and have E-Banking access. 

I hope can get answer here, thank you.

POSB savings account just requires a $500 deposit.
You do not need it when you open it, but you need to have at least some or by end of the month, your account will be "stuck" as they cannot fine u the $2.

I did not face any of those issues when I opened mine, nor did my sister in law, nor did her friend.   
We all did it at Peninsular Plaza, near Funan/City Hall after leaving EPSC.
