On Tuesday, police officers raided the brothel in the forested area along Sembawang Drive and arrested about 40 men and 10 women.
The women, mostly clad in revealing tops and skimpy shorts, were led away to police cars. Several of the men were topless when arrested.
The ground was littered with tissue paper, water bottles and open condom wrappers. Tarpaulin sheets were hung up to create three small rooms in the makeshift brothel.
Some office workers in the nearby Admirax building, which is facing the forested area, were shocked to hear about the police raid.
“We avoid that area. I just don’t feel secure around there,” said Ms Christine Shwe, 27, an engineer.
