Prostitution thrives in Singapore – 23 Nov 08
Singapore is one of Asia’s wealthiest economies, attracting migrant workers from across the region. But many of those workers are women who are forced to work in the sex trade due to growing poverty caused by the global economic downturn. Al Jazeera’s Tony Birtley reports.

Singapore is ok, problem is with the girls, so STHU stupid prostitudes
BAPOK!!!!!!!
hahaha singapore pretending to be innocent huh?
This is such a stupid report….Could Al Jazeera make a trip to Dubai and prepare a similar report? Dubai is a prostitute swamp!!! STFU Al jazeera.
oh yeah and fox news does??
you suck!! shut the f up!
stfu
I guess Geylang is almost swiped clean of prostitutes. But I heard news from my friends that there are girls from China appearing at Geylang offering again. Other nationalities spotted at GoldenMile. I have never been there so late at night, so I’m not sure whether this is ture or not. Best to avoid them at this places.
al jazeera has no credibility. it never had, never did
yeah they’re painting a completely nonsensical picture of Singapore. it’s stupid.
Singapore sucks
damn~ you never know who has HIV and AIDS now~ do you~
good luck~
I agree. I mean, what’s with this ALWAYS making them look like the innocent party?
Wow, look at all that prostitutes standing in line.
Singapore is a cesspoll of prostitutes of all kinds. LOL
thanks for sharing, i hate prostitutes! they say the boss force them in prostition? why? they r the one who ask for the job! they can dont accept it! i read news that these Philipino who actually works as a maid and they want to earn extra cash, so they turn to prostitution! i think many maid’s owner hv send them home.
Our expatriats!
lol singapore fail
What stupid propaganda is this? As usual these news station has nothing to report on and must insult just to speak. I’m a Singaporean and i know full well that these girls are mainly from China, Vietnam, Phillipine to make quick bucks for themselves due to the economical restrains in their own country. Most of them know full well what they are here for and do it willingly in the name of money.
each country has its fair share of prostitution
it’s true that singapoorians suck too much cock, the govt banned oral sex to maximize productivity of its citizens.
AlJazeera eat shit u motherfuckers how dare u talk that way about singapore wat about other countries bitch theres like a shitload more of prostitutes in other countries and also i hav nvr seen that many prostitutes in singapore for all we know u couldve payed some of those ppl , look at other countries and they are much worse
exactly i agree look at malaysia muslim country but that doesnt mean u cant find prostitutes here u can find them here in certain areas
there isn’t slavery in singapore, the women/girls who become prostitutes are the ones who chose to take the easy way out. the police do raid geylang.
those who become “high class” prostitutes obviously dont go there to get picked up or to get a room, their clients can afford way better. in the first place, singapore never had such a huge sex industry, so i dont see why aljazeera should blow this up. every country has a small part of it, no matter how religious the country is.
our police just sit there drinking coffe
^5 brother!
