Prostitution thrives in Singapore

Bro, you missed out Toa Payoh, close to Braddell Road. This was the last designated location by the authorities.

Too young to remember :p

Not that old , yet :p
During my teenage years , I would hang out with my hommies , smoke , TCSS and cycled to various red light districts to look see ( still skooling lah )
Only knew of Desker Road , Johore Road , Petain Road and Keong Saik Road ( internet wasn't available back then )
Only started to venture into Geylang after ROD-ing from the army in '93

What an overwhelming majority of Singaporeans don't know about Singapore, however, was the countless Japanese women who worked here as prostitutes between the late 19th century and early 20th century, women who were referred to simply as "Karayuki-san."Malay Street and the nearby streets of Malabar, Hylam and Bugis later grew into a big red-light district.

Singapore's official records suggest 633 Japanese women were operating in 109 brothels in 1905. The unofficial numbers were much more.Thus Singapore was known as one of the centers of the sex industry in Asia in those days.As Japan's international profile rose with victories in the Sino- Japanese War in 1894, the Russo-Japanese War in 1904 Japan began to view Japanese prostitutes working overseas as a national shame. So the then Japanese Consulate General in Singapore banned Japanese brothels in 1920.

There is a book on this.Available in our libraries.Very detailed and quite interesting.

His era would be the ET led BMX craze...with brands like kuwahara, mongoose, skyway, diamondback...

My era started with the chopper...with gear shift and modified with stereo

Ha..Ha..Ha.. Yes I remembered my elder cousin having that kind of bicycle with gear shift.. Then he upgraded to Kuwahara.. I remembered following him and his friends on cycling trips to Desker, East Coast during late nights.. He would also bring along this small Sansui stereo.. Cycled all the way from Bishan to Desker carrying an Umbro bag filled with water bottle, ciggarettes, torch light, batteries and few can of beer stolen from my Uncle's fridge.. First time I was at Desker, it was indeed an eye opener for me.. A big sized curly haired Malay Ah Kua came up to me and grabbed me by the balls..:o :o I was a bit scared then as she kept on asking me to follow her up the stairs... But I ciao fast fast and quickly cycled off with my cousin... How time flies...

Those were the carefree days .....

Lol , very insightful. Up you.

As I replied to GD, always two sides to every story, and i'm sure he has come across many more cases than all of us combined. SG is simply not the place where you can find child sex slaves or those from rural china and vietnam forced to work as whores (which genuinely happens in other countries). Most prostitution in SG is fully consensual and there's no rape unlike what's suggested by foreign media.

agree with you bro .

Had an army buddy from NS who was pestering others to take him to Desker Road. We used to laugh at him as others in their teenage days had already paid it visits even in school uniform, no badge.

So one day, couple of the chaps escorted him. As they turned around the corner, he spotted someone and that someone spotted him. Nothing was said and I understand nothing has been said since as the other chap he passed along the lorong was his father.

Still remembered the route that we took... Starting point would be at Bishan.. Cycled all the way to Serangoon passing by the old Bidadari Cemetery, then Potong Pasir and heading upwards towards Geylang Bahru, Boon Keng all the way straight till Sungei Rd.... Then finally Desker Rd....Witnessing Desker Bapoks with curly permed hair having live fist fights at 2 am in the morning...I agree...Those were the carefree days...

Damn... It must be a very awkward experience for both father and son..

 

[scroobal]

You telling me. Till today, the whole company remembers him for that incident. We met up with him during reservist and the question was naturally raised. He told us both father and he never mentioned it and worse still, their relationship went down a couple of pegs and tend to be quiet. Sad.

Yes, and that's something foreign media correspondents don't seem to understand, or choose not to understand in order to sensationalize their stories.

Am for the maximum prosecution of thugs who abuse & cheat women and force them into sex which they don't want.

However in SG there's many more cases of pros who "cry wolf" when they earn enough and want to find easy way out. I know a victim of such a scam once, as he was my army buddy. Was con of few thousand by a thai backlane FL who said she was cheated and wanted to escape. In the end turned out she was an FL who earned enough, paid back all her due to her OKT, and want to find a sucker to sponsor return ticket back. Some OKT even know about such matters, but close their eyes since the gal already pay everything they owe to them.

2 sides to every story, bro. I'm sure you;ve come across this many times.

I cheong 30 over years. Yet to come across an unwilling 'chicken' be it in HCs, Geylang brothels, FLs, KTVs etc. Not easy to force a gal to go into this trade in S'pore. All very happy leh! Ask me to intro my friends to them too.

 

[GoldenDragon]

Flanders Square / Petain Road = Banana Leg ( in Hokkien )
Desker Road = Back lane ( in Hokkien )
Besides Keong Saik Road , there was Johore Road back in the 80's
Wonder if Bro GD remembers this place ( Johore Road ) ?

Of course lah bro. I always there to see ah quas only. Yet to tekan an ah qau though I used to have a good friend at Changi Village. Heshe confided her love story to me. Very very sad.
