S’pore woman claims masseur at JB spa touched her inappropriately, asked to exchange contact details
The spa claimed the masseur was fired, but rehired, as his wife was in hospital.
A Singaporean woman, referred to as Elle, visited a spa in Johor Bahru on June 27, 2026, seeking a relaxing massage. However, her experience took a disturbing turn when she claims a masseur inappropriately touched her during the 90-minute session. Elle initially booked a foot and shoulder massage, but the masseur, who was reportedly trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), suggested upgrading to a full-body massage.
Initially, Elle found the masseur friendly and his massage technique to be good. Nevertheless, as the session progressed, he made her uncomfortable by moving her hands inappropriately during stretching exercises and making intrusive comments about her appearance and relationships. Furthermore, he allegedly got too close to her crotch while massaging her legs and asked to exchange contact details on WeChat.
When the massage extended beyond its allotted time and he requested her WeChat exchange, Elle felt compelled to end the session. She reported the incident to the spa manager, who initially threatened a fine for the masseur's behavior but later claimed to have dismissed him after Elle insisted on taking a stronger stance. However, Elle discovered that the masseur was still employed at the spa and visited the establishment on September 2, 2026, to confront the manager about the situation.
The manager reportedly allowed the masseur to return to work after a month, citing his family's hospitalization as the reason. This revelation further troubled Elle, who ultimately decided to share her experience with the Singaporean family who had previously reported similar incidents with the same masseur.
