Sonik Archana Susheel was found guilty of molesting the victim during the incident at the nightspot in the central business district. The offence occurred in the early morning hours of March 14, according to court records.
The conviction underscores persistent issues surrounding workplace safety and conduct in Singapore's nightlife establishments. Workers in hospitality venues, particularly those operating during late hours, have increasingly reported concerns about patron behaviour and personal security.
The case has drawn attention to measures aimed at protecting service staff from unwanted physical contact and harassment. Venues and industry operators have been urged to strengthen protocols and training to ensure staff safety and provide clear reporting channels for incidents.
The $2,500 fine represents a significant penalty under Singapore's laws governing indecent assault. Authorities continue to emphasize that such conduct will be treated seriously, regardless of the circumstances or setting in which it occurs.
