SINGAPORE : For the second time in two weeks, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and other enforcement officers swept though the streets of Geylang and Orchard Road early on Sunday morning.

One hundred and fifty-eight people were arrested for a range of offences, some of them gang- and vice-related.

Last week, officers from the CID and Tanglin Police Division arrested 27 people for various criminal offences at entertainment outlets along Orchard Road.

While the latest reports are unavailable, about 5,050 foreign women were picked up for vice offences in 2008, compared to the 5,400 arrested in 2007.

It is understood that much of the operation along the Orchard Road entertainment area was targeted at Orchard Towers.

The women - who are here on social visit passes - commonly come from the Philippines, China, Thailand and Vietnam .

Some have also been known to prowl the surrounding areas - openly soliciting customers in the early hours of the morning - to as far as Pacific Plaza along Scotts Road.

When MediaCorp visited the area at 2am on Sunday, the women, who are usually seen waiting outside the complex, were almost gone, perhaps frightened off by the presence of police.

As usual, targetting the low class prostitutes in order to give a semblance of vice-cleaning-up, while ignoring the more upmarket segments of the trade! hahahahah..

Well fine by me actually. I won't mind all these filthy asses getting nabbed and deported, as long as I can continue to enjoy my High Society delights. Good work, home team!

If they are so serious about clamping down vice, why do they give visas to Chinese whores so easily? Another MHA wayang show lah
