  1. Or at least that's what Al Jazzera says: Comments.
  2. More than 5,000 foreign sex workers caught in S'pore SINGAPORE - THE Republic arrested more than 5,000 foreign prostitutes last year but it is unrealistic to expect vice to be eliminated, the Home Affairs Minister has told parliament. Wong Kan Seng was responding to a question from an MP about efforts to curb 'rampant gambling and prostitution' in Singapore's red-light Geylang district. 'The vice situation in Singapore is under control,' Mr Wong said in a written response released on Tuesday. He said police across the city-state last year conducted 950 vice-related operations, up from 890 the previous year. They arrested 5,400 foreign sex workers, a 25 percent increase over 2006, he said. Despite its reputation as a straight-laced society, prostitution is legal in Singapore, where licensed brothels operate in designated areas such as Geylang. Pimping and public solicitation are illegal. Foreign women working voluntarily in the sex trade cannot be arrested unless they are caught offering their services out in the street or violate immigration and other laws. Mr Wong, who is also a deputy prime minister, said installation of closed-circuit television cameras in Geylang has helped deter solicitation. (contradition right? if deter, how can arrest increase 25%. i think he sud learn to collect coins for toylet for a living and swap job with me) He said daily police operations to target gambling in the back alleys of Geylang led to 280 arrests last year and an improvement in the situation. 'Illegal gambling in Geylang is not rampant,' he said. (280 arrests is not considered rampant?tat's almost 1 a day dude) 'But I should add that it is not realistic to expect vice to be totally eliminated,' he said, particularly as the city-state seeks to promote tourism. (fwah.. backpedal. lidat means if he does nothing, no one can blame him also muahahaha) 'Among those who come, there will be a very small number who enter under the pretext of social visits but engage in vice activities. This is the reality which Singaporeans should face up to.' -- AFP - 950 raid = 2.6 raid daily. which mean each raid only get 5 chicken.... we need bigger prisons...i mean chicken coop.
