Is there a syndicate operating behind all these vice activities ?

With the Anti-Vice enforcements recently, many arrests of foreign women were made. Well done to the relevant personnel involved.




Residents and businesses are puzzle their persistent existence in the vicinity since 2005.

Serious questions are posed :-

Are there a syndicate involved as they appear to be in such organised manner appearing at same locations and hotels. For example, the soliciting activities are carried out in the public walkway of Lorong 15, Geylang and the clients are then brought into the Hotel at Lorong 15, Geylang Road to carry out the sexual transactions. The operator or the staffs working in the hotels are fully aware of their vice operation yet continue allowing them to rent the said hotel despite frequent raids by the authority.

Below shows recent photos depict more Sri Lankan pimps involve in the illicit trade. Without arresting the pimps or investigating with the possibility of a syndicate, the street prostitution
activities and associate crimes will not cease.

As the Chinese saying goes " 斩草不除根 , 春风吹又生 " ( When cutting down weeds, you must get at the roots. Otherwise, the weeds will return with the spring breeze. ); without removing the roots/sources of the problem, the problem will persist. Residents had also voiced out previously merely arresting the street prostitutes only alleviate the symptoms instead of the roots cause or "治标不治本 " .

Hence it will be a waste of public resources in carrying out the enforcements if the sources of the problems are not removed. Sources refer to persons, organisations or premises involved in the gathering, bringing in and watching over the women; arranging with hotel operators or premise owners to allow these groups to carry out the illicit trades in the rooms, etc.

We appeal to the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation as these activities have also put Singapore's international reputation at stake as a clean, safe and secure country for the citizens and foreigners.
