Around this time.... a lorry came to a stop outside this house too and the lorryload of @ 6 Ah Nehs disembark and joined the group of PRCs waiting outside.
We left to check out the other houses after seeing the large group waiting and did not want to join them.

The reopening of brothels will bring relief to many men, especially to the more than a million foreign workers here after 2yrs of COVid 19 restrictions, as well as to women whom will feel safer again from fear of being molested.
The revenue one gets from brothel is not to be taken lightly. Properly regulated, with no women trafficked or forced into it, it can be an opportunity & win-win situation for all - for the WL, the OKT, revenue for economy.
Eg:- For half an hr work - $60 is collected. $20 goes to the WL. $10 to the OKT & $30 as revenue for economy, utilities, rent, etc.
One WL per half hr work = $30 revenue.
10hr work/day = $600 revenue.
10 WL per house/day = $6,000 revenue/day
10 houses /day = $60,000 revenue/day
Per month revenue = $1.8Million/mth
Per year revenue = $21 million per year conservatively.
It is not much, but still is money that is used to fund social expenditure. It is not so much about the money, but Humanity does not live in a perfect world & will have to be realistic, to deal with issues pragmatically & regulated. No woman should be forced into this trade, but only those whom are willing to do so. When our advancement in science is able to eradicate the hormonal urges in men, then such a trade which survived for centuries, will no longer be needed.
Geylang area crowd control
It is to be expected that with the opening, many males will crowd into geylang. To ensure that everyone enjoys the ambience & atmosphere in geylang, necessary measures will have to be taken to prevent any untoward incidences, to regulate the flow.
a) Companies that employ foreign workers are to EDUCATE their workers to minimise their urges, to obey the law at all times. Currently, there are only few WL, & with high demand, they may be overworked & disagreements will happen. Just be cool, & within 2-3months, there will be more supply.
b) More Police cars & vans on patrol within geylang, as deterrence to any whom may want to cause trouble. Foot patrols as well. Even have a PTU red truck within visible distance.
c) Have a military helicopter & a tactical unit team on standby on weekends, in the event the worse happens - riots. As geylang is a popular area, & traffic jams may abound, the trained tact team can 'rope down' from a hovering helicopter into any troubled spots within seconds & diffuse any tensions.
