10 years ago when i was a “newb” in singapore my childhood friend who was already several years working there took me to geylang. Parang “hawker” lang ung mga babae na nakatambay. They peddle themselves to men walking on the street. A group of chinese ladies inadvertently dragged me inside their club. Parang pinas din may “aquarium”. Of course, i did not oblige. Being new and everything. Not sure if true, legal daw ang prostitution dito. But the checks for STD are strict.

Everywhere. East side (Geylang), Central (Orchard) pati Tanjong Pagar (near the container terminals)...

All nationalities combined vs Pinoys, mas madami pa din tayo. Same reason why medyo mahigpit sila sa entering ladies from Manila/Cebu.

Bara baranggay din, so kung hawak ng Thais or Viets yung area, baka 2 blocks away yung mga kababayan natin.

Nung wala pa family ko dito, madalas ako isama ng mga bossing para daw may nakaka intindi sa mga ka- "table" nila.

Easiest way to find Pinoys on 30days pass... Sa loob mismo ng mga bar ng lucky plaza. (Golden mile naman yung Thai mall)

Its common for the SG Immigration to deport single ladies who are travelling alone at the Airport. Happened to a friend’s wife.

'Crazy Rich Asians' author wanted in Singapore for dodging military service | Reuters
Aug. 22, 2018

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - The author of the book “Crazy Rich Asians”, which inspired the Hollywood hit film of the same title, is wanted in his home country of Singapore for defaulting on his military service, the defense ministry said on Wednesday.

Kevin Kwan, author of the 2013 book and an executive producer of the film, was notably absent from the Singapore premier of the romantic comedy on Tuesday.

The Ministry of Defence said Kwan had failed to register for National Service (NS) in 1990, despite notices and letters sent to his overseas address, and he had also stayed overseas without a valid exit permit.

“Mr Kwan is therefore wanted for defaulting on his NS obligations,” the ministry said in a statement.

He was liable to a fine of up to S$10,000 ($7,315) “and/or imprisonment of up to 3 years upon conviction”, the ministry said.

Kwan could not be reached for comment.

Singapore has a strict law on national service for all male citizens and enforces it with few exceptions. It makes it illegal for men to give up citizenship without having completed their military service, of about two years.

Kwan left Singapore at age 11, first moving to Texas with his family, and has lived in the United States since then, Singapore media said.

His 1994 application to renounce his Singapore citizenship and a subsequent appeal had been rejected, the ministry said.
