Lifestyles Ideas Management – Illegal prostitution

If you come to Singapore and mentioned the word “Geylang” it is known as the red light district but nowadays it goes beyond “Geylang” to other districts as well.
There are many illegal sex workers coming here in Singapore. Some 5,400 foreign prostitutes were nabbed, a 25 percent increase over the number in 2006. Most of these women from China, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam are on social passes.

Traditionally these red light districts are normally on the even numbered lorongs (lanes) between 16 and 24. Of recent there is a new group arising from between lorong 42 and 44, the Vietnamese are plying their trade in pairs. Most of them in their 20s.
They came with the same stories, most of them come from Ho Chi Minh City, this is their first visit to Singapore, and their friends took them to the pubs to work.
Tran is 21, petite and has long straight hair (most Vietnamese keep straight hair and men likes it this way). She was a hairdresser and could not earn enough to support her parents and sister. She stays in Geylang lodging house with three other girls who do their rounds.
Their social pass normally allow stay for two weeks, in a month they can earn as much as SGD 1,000.00. Many have to leave before their social pass expires, usually making a trip to next border, Johor Baru and then return for extended stay.
Unlike licensed one, the illegal prostitutes do not go for mandatory health checks. Out of 60 free health checks, five had sexually transmitted infections. Whenever you broach the subject of sexually transmitted infections, it turns them off as they are not willing to face up to it for fear that they might not have the resources to deal with it.
Prostitution is an old trade way back from the past since Bible times and it show to prove one thing man will never learn to be contented with one partner. The way to living life is not to take short-cuts like earning a living by quick cash, how long these ladies will last by five years most of them will be down with bout of diseases. Life will then be very harsh for them and it is difficult to find someone who can accept their past life. Sometimes I wonder whether is money the answer to every life’s problems.
