Sex in horny Lion City?

Despite the harsh laws against illegal prostitution and sex with underaged women, an underground sex trade continues to flourish in Singapore as pimps and freelance prostitutes tout their services online, sometimes with horrendous consequences for their male clients who got on the wrong end of the law by having sex with those below the age of 18.

Why do men still patronize these freelance prostitutes despite the risks involved? And why other young Singaporean girls including students selling their bodies in return for quick cash?

    Look it sounds like a good idea, attracting FT but seriously it’s just a waste of our money because most of them will never fit into Singapore society and they will see plenty of other opportunities in 1st world countries like America or Australia. If they want to come here and are intelligent and honest, welcome them with open arms

    These FTs are often from larger companies with a longer history than Singapore’s. As such, when they come over to our tiny island to make a living, they feel as if they are doing us a favour. They throw their weight around, act smug and arrogantly. And when we protest in response to such abuse, they call us “Xenophobic”. Which sane, logical and patriotic citizen would allow a foreigner to abuse them in his own country? Anyone with any backbone and self esteem would defend themselves. We cannot allow this to continue. Forget about what our politicians are saying. We do not need these foreign trash. Please wake up before it’s too late.

    @TTR : Your math is kaput! $36 million a year divided by 2000 foreign scholars = $18K per foreign scholar per year. How did u arrive on $174,000 per foreign scholar per year?

    Honest? To put the word ‘honest’ next to PRC is akin to putting ‘Marina Bay Sands’ next to ‘cheap and affordable’.

    I really doubt the real identity of this BLOG’s maker/owner – 1) Are you a true Singaporean? 2Are you a journalism graduate? So how accurate are your ‘news’ i.e. BLOG Posts? To all who read and believe what the owner wrote, do you know who he/she is? The owner of this blog don’t even let people know his/her real identity, how credible can his/her ‘news’ be?
