Police have raided more vice dens in Geylang and Joo Chiat.

Forty women and five men from three nightspots were arrested in the raid last night, which ended only at 5am this morning.

The women arrested were between the ages of 18 to 36, and are believed to be karaoke hostesses or hookers. According to sources, they were arrested as they did not have working permits.

The women were skimpily clad, most of them were in mini shorts and mini skirts, as well as sleeveless or even transparent tops.

During the raid, many people crowded around to ogle at the women, with some even peeking into police vans to catch a glimpse of them.

Most of the women hung their heads as they were arrested, but some looked nonchalant and even struck poses for the camera.
