Online campaign launched to save famous Singapore nightclub Zouk

Singapore's iconic nightclub, Zouk, is more than just a club for 35-year-old Jona Neo. She met her future husband at the venue.

"It was 1998 and Zouk was having its Halloween party that night," said Neo who has been married for 13 years now and has two children. "When we got married, we even took our wedding pictures there."

She is among the thousands of Singaporeans rallying online to convince authorities to save one of the world's best nightclubs from shutting down.

The club's Jiak Kim Street lease will cease at the end of the year. Its owner had said previously that he would shut down the club if he was unable to get a three-year lease. There are no plans to relocate the establishment which many say helped put the country on the international clubbing map. It has been at the same address for 23 years and plans are already under way by the club to host farewell parties.

Zouk's current location has seen many new residential developments popping up over the last decade and residents have been complaining about the noise and litter left behind by club-goers.

The club - ranked No 7 in a list of the world's top clubs by the influential DJ Mag in the UK - is well-known for its fiercely loyal customers and for constantly hosting the world's best DJs.
