I was told that police is going to give out license or know as yellow card to PRC mei mei who are interested in prostitution industry.
It is not know when the law will be pass in the parliament but they are preparing for the second opening of IR Marina when they noticed there was an upsurge demand of prostitutes after the opening of IR Sentosa.
Move brothel license will be given out in Geyland area after closing down places like and .
Anyone here who is cash rich can consider to setup a brothel in Geyland area.
According to MOE, last year the number of AIDs cases involving PRC mei mei have increase sharply.

“We must do all we can to engage and empower women in the fight against AIDS,” Ms Braema Mathi, Vice-President for Action for AIDS (AFA) said.

Light sticks may have replaced the flame of candlelight, but it did not dim nor diminish the poignance and sombre mood of The Singapore AIDS Candlelight Memorial 2009.
About 300 people attended the Memorial held at the Ngee Ann Kongsi Auditorium,
Mr Siew Kum Hong, Guest of Honour and Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP), Mr Rustom Ghadiali, President Inter Religious Organisation (IRO), and Prof Roy Chan, President Action for AIDS (AFA) lit up the memorial candle for those whose lives had succumbed to AIDS.
A red glow illuminated the auditorium as a symbolism of the light shed on those present from the people who had passed on.
According to the Ministry of Health (MOH) figures released in April 2008, there are 1,144 AIDS-related deaths, while 3,482 Singaporeans are HIV-infected.
A prayer service followed the lighting of the candle. In testament that the scourge of HIV/AIDS cuts across all levels of religions, nine religious representatives from different faiths each took turns to offer prayers for the departed and their families.
Remembering Our Women
The theme for this year’s memorial focused on women. In
Ms Braema Mathi, Vice-President, AFA said: “We must do all we can to engage and empower women in the fight against AIDS.”
“We must step up efforts to ensure that women – single or married have the right information and tools to protect themselves and their lives,” Ms Mathi added. “For this, we also need the help of the men.”
In the opening address, Ms Mathi said that AFA hopes to start a woman’s programme this year. However, she acknowledged that it is “difficult area to go into” as women prefer to “take care of own than go into the open”.
In an interview with The Online Citizen, Ms Mathi said that women are not coming forward enough to talk. She said women are concerned over how being HIV positive would reflect on the women themselves and on their husbands or long-time partners.
“And the stereotyping of women will continue as soon as she has HIV outside of a relationship or in a relationship when the other party doesn’t have HIV. Then people will say ‘Oh, you’ve been sleeping around or whatever’”, Ms Mathi added.
Ms Mathi said that the stigma surrounding HIV hampers women from attending HIV-related talks: “But I think women need to forget about it and just come for their own information. It does not mean when you come for such a talk and all that, anyone in the family has HIV.”
‘Women need to know that if they are informed, they are armed,” Ms Mathi added.
She also urged women not to fear coming forward for anonymous testing “so that at least you yourself find out so that you can start preparing and taking more precaution”.
Ms Mathi pointed out that HIV-positive family women are concerned over the well-being of their children and the need to support the family. She emphasised a need for the women’s emotional support and a link to financial help schemes.
Sharing by HIV patient touches attendees
For some of those present Sunday evening, such as Mr Jason Goh 28 IT industry, Ms Danyya Ateera 18 student, and Mr Roy Ngerng 28 civil servant, the personal sharing of a HIV patient touched them deeply.
“I was touched by the story. It’s very real. It (HIV/AIDS) can happen to anyone,” Mr Goh said. “They’re really brave to share their stories.”
Mr Ngerng a volunteer for Action for AIDS (AFA) has attended the Memorial for a third year described the event “symbolic” in supporting people with HIV.
Mr Ngerng was heartened to see the religious leaders taking time off to attend the Memorial and to lead prayers: “They’re always here to show support to people living with HIV. It shows support for their members of their respective faiths.”
Mr Ngerng said the most memorable part is always the one minute of silence that is observed: “For me it gives me time to just pray for everybody on my own accord.”
Prof Chan was happy with the “good turnout”. He said that the Memorial was a good opportunity for friends, volunteers, workers and all those involved in the AIDS cause to gather and reaffirm their commitment to the programme.
The Memorial, held for the eighteenth time in
