KBOK sued for Fraud

KBOK, Singapore’s famous chain karaoke get together venue for youngsters, has been sued for fraud yesterday in court. Almost 100 victims turned up yesterday to testify against KBOK, which seemed unlikely to get away without a fine.

According to their testimonies, these victims had been to different branches of KBOK’s karaoke lounge. And after their karaoke sessions, KBOK charged them for an additional head. “One head” referred to one person who had been in the lounge and using the facilities.

These victims were, on the other hand, rather sure that they had the exact number of people in the lounge, therefore arguing with the manager on duty. The latter would then show the victims the record of CCTV while they were using the lounge.

And to the surprise of the victims, there was a figure with long hair covering its face sitting right at the corner seat of the lounge. It was quietly sitting down at a corner of the lounge and never moved a single inch during their stay in the lounge. The victims were then forced to pay for this additional ‘head’ that was caught down on tape but was never seen by the lounge patrons.

This happened more and more frequently, until yesterday KBOK was brought to court and their license temporary suspended for fraudulent reasons. The verdict would be announced next year.

newstonight2 would like to advise all KTV goers to beware of any 'head' lingering around the KTV during their session.
