[Singapore] - Over 330 prostitutes arrested in a nation-wide operation

[UltimaOnline]

331 prostitutes arrested in a nation-wide operation. These hardworking women are just trying to make an honest living, but get arrested with indignity, thrown in jail, and finally kicked out of the country with a criminal record. And we have useless CEOs of Singapore banks collecting Sg$20 million every year doing nothing but playing golf and collecting money from the poor to give to the rich. That’s the ethics of human society for you.

I thought prostitution is legal in Singapore. Why are they being arrested?

Because they don't pay tax.

 

[Leongsam]

Because they don't pay tax.

So they were arrested for tax evasion?

When locals kena bashed up by foreigners-mata2 just advice them to file private magistrates complaint.

Here they spent public resources going after members of the weaker sex trying to survive while allowing cripple like Mat Selamat to escape and foreigners to riots in Tekka. Not enough resources to handle tough criminals and loan sharks yet can go after soft targets like the world's oldest profession.
Wonder if the number of foreigners who denounce their PR's to avoid NS would have made a difference in the staffing- foreigners allowed to
manipulate the system to the detriments of locals.

So many horny Singaporeans. Why can they find a real girlfriend or a wife? Must pay money to get sex?

This disgust me more than public peeing or pooing.

Prostitution per se is NOD - no offence disclosed. Soliciting in public n living off their earnings is an offence.

 

[GoldenDragon]

When F1 comes to town, services of high end 'chickens' is a lucrative business. Govt aware but shut both eyes. Pimps involved, boomtown Charlie. That's the reality.

So if you procure sex you are not soliciting, and if the Singapore bitch was not underage, Shaw would not have to go to prison, issit?

they may have to resort to "other" services to earn extra incum, to make up for shrinking revenue in the "main" business.
