Is it illegal to be a sex worker in a hotel in Singapore?

It is legal if you have a public license; of course it is illegal if you engage in prostitution in private.

1. Singapore’s Geylang, the legal ‘red light district’, has become a gathering place for prostitutes.

There are more than 2 million migrant workers in Singapore engaged in construction projects and other manufacturing industries. They are young, strong, in good health, far away from their hometowns and wives, and have very strong physiological needs. If they are not solved properly, Due to their physiological needs, they are not at ease doing things and may cause trouble, leading to an increase in crime rates. Therefore, based on the reality of Singapore's resource shortage, we adopted the method of developing tourism plus sex industries and specially set up Geylang "Red Light District", which not only retains migrant workers, but also attracts tourists from all over the world. It kills two birds with one stone!

2. There are hidden illegal red light districts and prostitutes everywhere.

After the Singaporean government planned the Geylang Red Light District, it has banned other hidden illegal "red light districts". However, with the needs of workers here and tourists from all over the world, the government's current Geylang Red Light District has In the "red light district", due to the limited number of licenses issued, there are only a few hundred legal sex workers. Far from meeting the needs. As a result, the government gradually relaxed restrictions, so some private "red light districts" spread all over the streets and alleys of the "Lion City" and some hotels.

In Singapore, in addition to the "red light district" approved by the Yalang government, there are "clandestine prostitutes" in some hotels, guesthouses, bathrooms, massage parlors, leisure houses, and nightclubs in the Lion City. The girls do not have health certificates. . In order to make money, survive and support their families, they have to sell their bodies in exchange for living resources.
