## Licences
- **Public Entertainment Licence (PEL)** (Singapore Police Force (Public Entertainments Licensing Unit), required): Required under the Public Entertainments Act for karaoke outlets, live music, amusement centres, billiard saloons and computer-games centres open to the public. Operating without one can draw a fine of up to $20,000. Check: https://www.police.gov.sg/Business-E-Services/Apply-for-Public-Entertainment-Licence/Overview-of-Public-Entertainment-Licence
- **Liquor Licence** (Singapore Police Force (Police Licensing & Regulatory Department), required): Any outlet selling alcohol for consumption on or off the premises needs a liquor licence, which sets its permitted supply hours. Sale to anyone under 18 is an offence for the licensee. Check: https://www.police.gov.sg/e-Services/Police-Licences/Liquor-Licence

## How to choose
- Daytime weekday slots are the cheapest; multi-hour packages (Mon–Thu) can lower the hourly rate further.
- Check the outside food and drink policy – some family KTV chains allow it, lounges usually do not.
- For groups, confirm room capacity and whether price is per room or per person.
- Confirm the outlet holds a police Public Entertainment Licence; police have acted against unlicensed 'KTV concept' rooms.
