As of Tuesday , all nightlife outlets in Orchard Towers have stopped their public entertainment operations, save for one which has filed an appeal, the police said.
After considering an appeal by some business operators and the Singapore Nightlife Business Association in April this year, the police agreed to extend their public entertainment licences by two months to"facilitate their transition to alternative arrangements". Most floors in the 18-storey building are occupied by offices, but commercial units take up the first few floors.. In 2016, another man died after he was assaulted by two men, who were subsequently jailed.
Many of its public entertainment outlets have since relocated. Some have closed for good while others have pivoted to other businesses.
