" Interpol assistance sought to arrest LTTE suspect in Singapore
Tuesday, 2 October 2007 - 7:17 AM SL Time
Customs officer, wharf clerk helped clear explosives, Communication Equipment
Sri Lanka has sought Interpol assistance for the arrest and exportation of an LTTE agent, living in Singapore, who had exported 150 units of high tech inter-com equipment and explosives seized by the Terrorist Investigation Division in a residence at Ja-Ela recently.
TID sources said a Customs officer and a wharf clerk, both Sinhalese, were responsible for clearing the consignment of intercoms and explosives at the airport for transport to Ja-Ela and Kotahena.
The TID was able to get the information about the explosives taken to Kotahena after interrogating a woman, a Sinhalese from Kadawata and her husband suspected to be an LTTE cadre. She had told the sleuths that they were living in a house that belonged to her husband`s brother who was abroad but she was not aware about all the activities of her husband.
The raid on the Ja-Ela residence and seizure of intercom equipment and explosives was made possible after interrogation of a group of LTTE suspects arrested recently at Chilaw, TID sources said.
Sources said the details of the LTTE operative have been dispatched to Interpol.
The Island in an exclusive story reported the finding of the 150 sets high tech intercom sets at Ja-Ela by the TID a few weeks back. " - source : Lankanewspapers.com

You can investigate and publish or blog anything you want. That's your right, but when you target a specific race or Nationality it sounds a little hollow. I'm from Asia and I know some of the past history of Singapore whenn it was known as the 'flesh pot of Asia'. So if you want to report about prostitution in Singapore please do not target one particular country or a nationality.
Thanks.
Asian
To whoever think we are targeting at a specific race or Nationality. Please open your eyes and see the rest of the blog which we include pictures of other foreign prostitutes as well.
In this street, the presence of Sri Lankan prostitutes and pimps are more dominant, hence, they are featured more.
If you care about these prostitutes, please ask them to go home to Sri Lanka or other countries where they belong. Or if you're one of them, the pimp or john, please note that we will get you in time and the law of cause and effect will come after you.
