SINGAPORE: The curtains have come down on Singapore's Ministry of Sound (MOS). Lifebrandz Limited, which brought the popular club to Singapore in 2005, announced in a statement that it was ceasing MOS' operations from October 6.

The two-storey nightclub just hosted Ferrari F1 driver Felipe Massa two weekends ago.

Lifebrandz said it had terminated its licence agreement with MOS' UK-based brand owner, Ministry of Sound International Limited, in accordance with the terms of their contract.

Lifebrandz added it had also instructed its lawyers to file a lawsuit against the Ministry of Sound International Limited in the Singapore High Court.

But Lifebrandz is retaining tenure of the 38,000 square foot space in Clarke Quay.

It plans to turn it into another night entertainment venue different from the Ministry of Sound. Details are expected in the next few weeks. - CNA/vm
