A 25-year-old Malaysian man operated an online vice syndicate that procured hotel rooms at Marina Bay Sands (MBS) and arranged for women to offer sexual services to customers there.

Goh Boon Hong earned about S$3,000 to S$4,000 from the prostitution earnings between February and March 2025.

Goh was detained at MBS on Mar. 7 as part of an anti-vice operation by the police.

Two Japanese women, aged 26 and 27, referred to as A1 and A2 in court documents, were arrested alongside Goh.

Goh was sentenced to one year's jail and fined S$4,000 on Jun. 30, according to .

Operated online vice syndicate

Court documents seen by Mothership indicated that in August 2024, Goh was recruited by a man named Wong Chi San, who managed the online vice syndicate FanzaSG.

Goh's role was to liaise with customers, collect prostitution earnings from the women and exchange the prostitution earnings into foreign currency, prosecutors said.

Goh initially received a 10 percent commission from the prostitution earnings but this was later increased to 20 per cent.

In January 2025, Goh took over the syndicate after Wong was arrested.

Goh then recruited his friend, Zhang Kai, a 46-year-old Chinese citizen that he knew through Wong, to help him with the operations.

On Jan. 11, Goh contacted A1, who had prostituted herself under the syndicate since 2024, over WeChat.

He invited her to travel from Japan to Singapore to prostitute herself between Feb. 27 and Mar. 7.

A1 also extended the invitation to her friend, A2.

Both agreed to this arrangement as they were looking to earn some money.

Goh then advertised the sexual services of the two women on the Sammyboy forum and a Telegram channel.

How they set up rooms at the hotel

His accomplice Zhang, who held a Paiza Gold membership with MBS and received complimentary monthly accommodation, helped the syndicate to procure rooms at the hotel to harbour women for prostitution from August 2024.

Apart from his monthly accommodation privileges, Zhang would also procure rooms through other agents and Paiza Gold members, and transfer his accommodation privileges to Goh.

In exchange, Goh paid Zhang S$50 per room per day, on top of the hotel room charges.

From August 2024 to March 2025, Zhang helped Goh procure rooms for 10 such women.

Goh specially requested Zhang to procure rooms with larger bathrooms and two bathroom doors to accommodate "soapland" setups for providing sexual services to customers.

This included an inflatable bed, a chair and nuru gel, which Zhang would set up in the bathrooms before the women were settled in.

Zhang would check in the inflatable beds, inflate them in the hotel room bathrooms and set up the chairs and nuru gel.

After the women left the hotel, he would deflate the beds and keep them in the luggage at check-out.

Subsequently, Zhang would store the luggage at the concierge of the hotel.

For setting up these "soapland" setups, Goh initially paid Zhang S$500 for each woman using them.

But in January 2025, this payment was increased to S$600 as Zhang told Goh there was "too much effort and risk involved" in helping in his prostitution operations.

Arranged for prostitution services over 9 days

Prior to Feb. 27, Zhang booked hotel rooms at MBS for A1 and A2 on Goh's request.

He had to make multiple hotel room bookings for the nine-day period as each hotel room was only available for two to four days at a time.

Zhang also asked Goh about A1 and A2’s customer booking schedules via WeChat to coordinate room changes and minimise disruption to their bookings.

After Zhang had set up the hotel bathrooms on Feb. 27, he passed the room access cards to Goh.

Goh met A1 and A2 at the hotel on the same day and helped them settle in the rooms for their stay till Mar. 7.

To coordinate matters, all four were in a WeChat group created by Goh.

Through the group, Goh informed A1 about her customers, the type of sexual service to provide, and the amount of prostitution earnings.

A1 was required to provide updates in the group when customers entered and left the hotel room, and when they made payment.

Earned S$3,000 to S$4,000

The customers paid A1 and A2 in cash for the sexual services, which Goh later collected from them.

He would also take a cut for himself, ranging from S$300 to S$1,000 depending on the type and duration of sexual services.

Over the nine days at the hotel, A1 provided sexual services to 44 customers, with S$14,800 in prostitution earnings, and was paid 1.24 million yen (S$10,960) by Goh.

A2 served 37 customers, earning S$11,100 and was paid 830,000 yen (S$7,336) by Goh.

Goh also paid Zhang S$2,100 for his services over the nine-day period, all of which came from the prostitution earnings.

Goh kept the rest of the prostitution earnings, and made about S$3,000 to S$4,000 in total.

Sentenced

On Mar. 7, Goh was detained at MBS along with A1 and A2 during an anti-vice operation.

Prosecutors asked for a sentence of 11 to 13 months jail and a fine of S$4,000 for Goh, noting that he assumed a "managerial role" in the online vice syndicate and not only procured the women for prosecution, but also advertised their sexual services, liaised with customers and arranged for hotel rooms to harbour them.

The prosecution added that the offences had a transnational element as the women were procured from Japan to enter Singapore for the purpose of prostitution.

Goh was charged on nine counts under the Women's Charter.

He pleaded guilty to five of them, including two counts each of living on prosecution earnings and harbouring a woman for the purpose of prostitution.

The judge sentenced Goh to one year's jail and a fine of S$4,000 on Jun. 30, according to Shin Min.

Zhang also faces two charges under the Women's Charter and one charge of obstruction of justice.

His case is still before the courts.
