SINGAPORE - A former director of travel agency Mandarin World Holidays (MWH), Tan Siew Choo, has been convicted of conducting the business without a valid travel agent licence. <\/p>\n
The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) said in a statement that she was fined a total of $3,000. <\/p>\n
A total of 28 complaints against MWH were received between 2008 and 2010, STB said. <\/p>\n
MWH's travel agent licence was suspended from April 3, 2010, to July 1, 2010, following the complaints. <\/p>\n
Its licence was subsequently revoked on September 20, 2010, after the firm was found to have offered travel-related services during the suspension period. <\/p>\n
During a raid by STB on October 13, 2010, MWH was found to be providing travel-related services despite having its travel agent licence revoked earlier. <\/p>\n
