Zoom downhill on Southeast Asia's first ever luge! Part go-cart, part toboggan and pure excitement, the Sentosa Luge is a fun-filled ride that's safe for all ages.
Sri Lankan group or groups operating their prostitution vice in one of the neighbourhood at Geylang in Singapore. Some effects have been applied to protect the identities of the residents. The foreign pimps and street prostitutes are affecting the lives of the community as women and families are unable to access streets without their harassments or intimidation. Singapore has been internationally known for her secure and safe environment...however, this is not always true as in this case. Some of these females have to stand along the streets days and nights soliciting openly while the pimps and lookouts watching over them. Regardless of the johns' ages, races, nationalities or health conditions, these females have to provide them sexual services. Thanks to johntv.com for the inspiration.

As Brian (johntv.com) has well said - Street Prostitution is not a victimless crime. The victims are the prostitutes, the johns' families, residents, women working in affected areas. In Singapore, Geylang is always viewed as red-light district where in reality there are much more interesting places one can find including popular local restaurants, Muslim schools, mosques, Buddhist temples, clans, trade associations and architectural conservation buildings for locals, families and tourists to visit. Besides, there are affordable accommodation for tourists for the many budget hotels as well as housing with more than 50 residential apartment blocks. In each of the 44 numbers of lorongs ( i.e. side streets or lanes ), one can find interesting places to visit or view. Beside this, the main Geylang Road is convenient located near to Geylang Serai Market, Joo Chiat area as well as future Paya Lebar second offices and commercial area. It takes about 10 to 20 minutes to walk to these places. Prostitution is legalised in Singapore ( where you can find some brothels in a few designated even-numbered lorongs in Geylang ); however, street prostitution soliciting are illegal. In recent years, the increase of street walkers had resulted in more security and environment problems as crimes are attracted alongside such activities including robberies, thefts and even a case of murder linked to a foreign prostitute. There are children (schools) as well as worshippers (temples, mosques) who frequent Geylang daily, hence, we urge Singapore authorities (i.e. Hotel licensing Board, URA, Public Entertainment Licensing Unit, Anti-Vice Branch,NEA, etc.) to deal with the problems seriously and coordinately because we are concern of the safety of the innocent people accessing this area. Besides, with the recent news about more tourists staying in the budget hotels in Geylang due to tight availability of hotel rooms in the usual hotels; there are urgent needs to increase security in this area to protect the tourists as well. This video shows how rampant street walker groups have became in one of the lorongs. [More] [Less]
In Geylang, sometimes young girls of foreign origin can be found soliciting in the public. Their ages are questionable if they are less than 18 or sometimes 16 years old. Some of them are being "taken care of" by the pimps who promise they will earn enough to pay their debts and to upkeep their family back at home.
