    Rampant comeback of sexual massage parlours in S'pore

    (Photo illustration used)

    After noticing that sexual massage parlours are returning in greater numbers despite a crackdown two years ago, Hero sent in this contribution in an effort to raise awareness against them.

    Said the STOMPer in an email:

    "I am very disturbed with the rampant comeback of massage parlours in Singapore.

    "Despite the crackdown on the massage parlours about two years ago, many of these seedy joints are returning in much greater numbers. They have even penetrated neighbourhoods and shopping centres.

    "Many of these joints offer commercial sex. They avoid being raided by the law by disguising themselves as beauty salons or spas.

    "Let me give you a few examples.

    "1. Beauty Salons
    Many of such establishments offer "facial" treatments, but 99 per cent of their clientele are men, and they have few women customers. You can see a lot of these joints in Bencoolen, Duxton, Chinatown, Tanjong Pagar and CBD areas where the so-called facial treatment therapists would put on sexy outfits and give out pamphlets to men. They ignore the women.

    "At these places, the "therapists" would give a "facial" treatments before asking their male customers if they would like to have the "full service". From the layout of such units, no one would suspect that seedy activities are being carried out there. They all look like genuine ladies' spa or facial treatment outlets.

    "At one massage parlour in Balestier Road, the ladies wear sexy cheongsums and provide commercial sex (sometimes, at the customer's request, without any condom or protection at all). Some of the girls there are not Permanent Residents but are on social visit passes.

    "2. False-front shops providing soapy massage
    Currently, there are many such joints mushrooming in Singapore where "soapy massage" is provided. Many of these units are hidden. You would think they are just another normal office (except that they are closed every day, at all times). To make these joints discreet, the owners do not even put up the shop's name or advertise its services.

    "There are many such joints in the Tanjong Katong and Katong areas. These shops do not list their exact location in papers. Usually, customers would call to make appointment. They would be asked to arrive at a specific location at the appointed time. Once the customer reaches the destination, he would call the joint again. The shop's owner would ask the caller to go to a specific unit (not the exact location for the soapy massage), and would ask him to describe what kind of clothes he is wearing.

    "The owner would then observe the customer from a spot and upon confirmation of his identity, will bring the customer to another unit (usually nearby) for the soapy massage.

    "In the shop, the customer would have the choice of selecting a girl, usually out of a pool of 6-8 ladies for the one hour soapy massage. The price for the session is $140. It would cost $260 if the customer wants to have a "3P session", that is, with two ladies serving him.

    "I'm very concerned with these soapy massage joints because they could lead to the widespread of Sexually Transmitted Disease (STDs) or worse HIV-Aids. During the soapy massage, both the customer and the lady would be naked and engaged in soapy bath where there is very close contact of the bodies. During the process, sex would be carried out.

    "Due to competition among the girls (because the customer would only choose one out of 6-8 ladies), the lady would go to any means to please the customer, including unprotected sex.

    "As one can see, there is a big danger of STDs and HIV-Aids being passed around easily. To make it worse, the girls employed are on short temporary stay in Singapore (on social visit passes). They are not screened for health check at all!

    "Worst, as many of the joints are located in shopping centres; they are very easily accessible by even teenage boys. Many young boys are seen visiting these joints and the pimps would never bother to turn these under-aged teens away.

    "Many of the girls employed at these soapy massage joints do free-lance work as well. They would provide commercial sex to customers at hotels. Again, many of these sexual activities are carried out without any protection."

    So what do you STOMPers think?

    Lotsa mass condo in RCR like D14 Geylang and D12 Balestier. RCR needs to be separated as it is red light areas.

    See extract from www.salary.sg:

    It’s not always so easy to make money, as the previous case studies suggested.

    Slightly more than 10 years ago, a young couple bought something that almost ruined their lives financially.

    It was the middle of 1996, a boom time for the stock market as well as the property market.

    The couple - working professionals - were earning salaries that disqualify them for subsidised HDB housing.

    Just married, they were yearning for a nice place to stay in.

    They set their eyes on a 1,300 square foot condominium just north of Ang Mo Kio. The location is not very central, but the asking price was a crazy $1 million.

    It was a stretch for the couple. Without huge savings, they could only afford the initial 20% downpayment and had to borrow the rest for the progress payments.

    But given the rosy economy then, and the fact that they were holding well-paying jobs (making a combined $150k a year), they went ahead and bought the condo.

    We all know what happened next.

    The economy tanked. Asia went into financial crisis. Jobs were lost. Stock and property prices fell. Drastically.

    Salaries were cut.

    The couple also saw their income go down. Yet, they still had to make the mortgage repayments.

    A big part of their earnings went to the bank.

    They were slaves to the mortgage loan. (It’s still the case now. So they don’t save a lot.)

    Worse, the condo’s value went down, almost to negative equity level, i.e. owing the bank more than the property’s worth.

    Even now, when property prices are at peak levels (and maybe on the way down), the couple’s condo is still a loss-making investment. Why? Their condo is a leasehold property.

    So, this unfortunate couple is “stuck” with a still-sizable bank loan, a condo that’s depreciating in value, and low savings. And they are considered high income earners…

    A wrong move, and they are hit financially for a long time…

    Will it happen again?

    i think the fellow who said citylights will drop big time is waiting for prices to drop so he can afford it. I think he can't afford to buy it now so sour grapes

    Please don't compare Citylights and CSR too early. Wait until you see the situation at the pool and the surrounding, then it is fair you make a comment.

    900 units next to Little India. Oh...
