    Suspected Brothels In Katong Private Housing Area Raises Residents’ Ire

    Suspected brothels have popped up in a Katong private housing district for the second time in 2015.

    Residents reported that suspicious activities have been spotted at four of the six bungalows on Crescent Road.

    One of the bungalows was raided by the police on April 28, and two woman were cuffed and detained, according to past reports.

    Residents, who did not wish to be named, told Chinese daily Lianhe Wanbao that barely a month later, foreign workers had moved into the bungalows.

    They then spotted men loitering around the area, sending messages and checking their mobile phones.

    After a while, they would walk into one of the bungalows.

    A resident said that at noon on Sunday, he saw a woman in heels climb over the perimeter wall into one of the bungalows.

    Another resident said that a man once rang their doorbell at 2am, and asked if they provided sexual services.

    They said that the men who frequented the suspected brothels in the past seemed affluent, and some even had chauffeurs.

    The men spotted loitering nearby recently, appeared less well-off.

    Residents said they have reported the matter to the police and to their Member of Parliament.

  • Rail Corridor Turns Into Sins Avenue At Night

    Rail Corridor Turns Into Sins Avenue At Night

    A spot along the Rail Corridor near Sungei Kadut Avenue has been turned into an outdoor brothel at night.

    Men gawk at a handful of foreign women, who sit in rows. When a deal is struck, the woman guides her client into a narrow pathway carved out of the tall lalang grass.

    TNP staked out the area on Wednesday and Thursday. Between 9pm and 10.30pm, we witnessed a steady stream of men going into the state-owned land.

    One of them, who gave his name only as Salim, initially told TNP that he used the trail as a shortcut to Yew Tee MRT station.

    When pressed further, the Bangladeshi in his late 20s said with a smile: “Inside, there are also Ah Muis (Hokkien for girls), so I take a look while on my way. But I never try them – there are many mosquitoes.”

    Some workers claimed that a makeshift brothel has been in business in the area for the last five months, moving locations frequently within the Rail Corridor.

    From our observation point about 50m across a muddy canal, we could see men looking at four women seated on plastic chairs.

    Closer to Sungei Kadut Avenue, a group of men peddle contraband cigarettes which they stash in the bushes.
