Is there a change of ppl at Star Massage@PPC ?

[lblittlebear]

Recently, I'm back to pure massage and went to Star a few times the past 1-2 weeks.

I noticed that the pretty lady (ah xin) was no longer seen. Went there in the morning, afternoon and night but did not see her once. And I saw a few new staff instead

Anyone know if she is still working there ? Missed her smile and massage :D

Ah Xin and Bing Bing did not show up for nearly two months. According to the lady boss, she said they went for dipolma course. Lately, they are replaced by two new faces and her brother. Wonder if they will return next month.:confused:

[lblittlebear]

Oh I see, thanks for the information. Up u my humble 2 pts

They probably need to go for diploma or some certification so that they can continue to work. Heard from my regulars that these days, quite strict on TNs.

PPC got some authority ppl went there a few times to check on licensing and certification stuff.

Tks for upz.

Not only PPC, it's whole island checking on licence and professional qualification due to new massage framework effected on 1st June. Both Cat I and Cat II are involved. Heard 50% professional qualificaton for Cat II new shop and progressive for existing Cat II licence. Open concept (Notification) remains intact. Correct me if my information is not correct.

Hope to see Ah Xin and Bing Bing soon. Cheers

shld be this way i think, cos majority r cat 2, those are the problematic hc, that usually nvr do a good job n then ask for hand job, but suprise they let out exemption open concept, majority of the tuina, almost all of them and beauty salon are exemption notice.
so those who follow the law go and applied for cat 1 n cat2 licence now they regret.
The open concept one, majority are in hdb estate, get away with it, some more no licence fee.no expiry date.

I think the authorities tighten the rules due to IR and control of package marketing. They wl be more strict in inspecting open concept shops, (majority in HDB and foot reflexology shops in d shopping mall). Cat I, Cat II n Notification w different critieria and reward, I m sure operators always hv their way to overcome d rules. We dun need to worry for them. Just enjoy and cheong...;)

Wl upz n aft my power rtn. Cheers..

if the risk and cost is high ,the gal n operators will move away from this trade, we hv less place to chong.

Bro, high risk high return, high cost usually low return n low risk. This primitive trade started in the Roman Empire and will last.

U are right, there wl b less place to chong. But, once there is demand, there is always supply.

Cheong whenever v can.......

Finally, lady boss confessed Ah Xin and Bing Bing left lor. She lied about training and diploma course......:mad::eek:

[lblittlebear]

Did she tell you why they left ? Or does she know where they're working now ?

Going to miss Ah Xin .....

In May, she told me they went for training and won't return for one month. Her family members (from China) started showing and working in the shop. I already suspected something wrong after six years of loyal partnership.

In June, she told me their training course extended.

Lately, she said they left and probably started new shop. My feeling is correct, Ah Ching lied. Any bro, any news?

Sibei sian. Yesterday i went down, all the previous ppl all gone!

Anyone who have their new info, pls update us here.

They are really a bunch of good ppl who does serious good massage. I am so sian now.....:(

[lblittlebear]

Like that very jialat.

If Xin is no longer there, don't think I'll ever step into STARS again.

I believe her departure and the rest should be something very sudden. If not, she would have informed the regulars right ?

Does anyone here know where she is now ? Anyone knows where her new shop is ?

Ya man....i also believe something happened...the new staff ask me so rude when i ask for the old staff : "Someone else massage you cannot meh?" Knn...feel like slapping her!

I call their hp also no get thru...only got message not available....sigh.....

Nowadays hard to find good tuina ppl......cannot always go spa oriental also...pocket buay tahan.....

[lblittlebear]

Thanks for the information, maybe you can try their hp sometimes later.

It would be good if can get through to find out where is their new shop. I'll definitely visit them regularly to give them the business

In the meanwhile, I'll boycott STARS@PPC.
