Video of Sri Lankan prostitution group

We have compiled some of the clips and photos over the years of the Sri Lankan group or groups operating in the neighbourhood of Geylang.

Questions: 1. How many of them? Do they operate alone or with the locals ? 2. Why and how are the pimps able to operate for several years since 2003 ? 3. What gives them the confidence to operate boldly in Geylang ? Do they have backers ?

Lawlessness behaviours :- Codeine or Cough Mixture Abuse

This short clip was sent to us and had been applied some effects to protect the identity of whoever involved.


Codeine or cough mixture abuses have been rampant due to easily access at backlane traders in the lorongs including 11, 13, 15, 17, 21 and 24 of Geylang Rd. in the past. It has been mentioned that drug addicts use this as cheap substitutes to give that 'high'. There had been several raids in the past, but the trades can still be seem in some backlanes.

The message is clear, our authorities should increase more enforcements and patrolling in the area or else, Geylang will be like neighbouring country who is suffering from increasing crimes.



There have already cases of murder of a prostitute, rape of China prostitutes, drug tradings and not forgetting the usual street prostitution. Confining the problems within the Geylang will not solve the problem because these activities are highly mobile and Singapore is a small country. This means the criminals and the crimes can be easily spread to other parts of Singapore in view of the small island area.

Foreign groups operating in Singapore since 2003

As early as 2003, groups of foreigners were already operating in the illegal sex trade in Singapore.

Street walkers are causing public chaos

In the past, most prostitutes are confined within brothels or hotels shy away from the public eyes. These had generally served the ' needs ' without disrupting public orders.

In recent years, the influx of foreign street walkers and illegal sex-providers had resulted and attracted criminals ( including a case of rape and robbery of the prostitutes ). With prostitutes aggressively soliciting in common areas, safety and security in public are compromised.

For example, wives, sisters, daughters or girlfriends of families were mistakened and approached by johns. Molests happened unreported as these are troubling for the victims.

Against Foreigners Doing Crimes In Singapore

There has been an increasing surge in foreign women involving in street prostitution in Singapore. This in contrast with "licensed brothels" as prostitution are legal in Singapore.
However, prostitution soliciting are prohibited and illegal.

Prostitution soliciting is no longer a 'victimless' crime as it affects the normal living of the residents and working community. The victims are the families living in the neighbourhood, the legitimate businesses, the children who are unable to come out to play in the playgrounds, the women ( wives, mothers, sisters, friends ) residing in the area being approached by 'johns'; as well as the wives and family members of these men.












Are there no pimps or any middlemen involved who make a living out of the street-prostitution? In Singapore, the street-prostitutes usually work independently.












However, there are suspected cases in which pimps and lookouts or groups are involved in the street-prostitution. These foreign males are making a living out of their prostitutes as well as causing public chaos and disorders. We are also wondering if they involve the locals to establish their 'trades' in these parts of Singapore ?


The residents are lamenting that these lookouts should be subject to the same punishments map out in the laws for pimps or immigration offenders as they too, like the pimps, gain from the foreign prostitutes trades.
