SINGAPORE : It's a cat-and-mouse game for the ladies of the
night and the police in Geylang.
Surveillance cameras installed in some lanes last month have
prompted the women to move to new territory in the area.
And some residents are unhappy.
When night falls, things used to heat up in Geylang Lorong
21.
But eversince the police installed surveillance cameras last month,
the street walkers are nowhere to be seen there.
Instead, they have turn up in hordes at Lorongs 23 and 24.
Residents say the area has been peaceful for the past three to four
years, after police raids rid the area of streetwalkers.
Now, the women are back.
Unsettled, some residents are even contemplating of moving
out.
Residents say surveillance cameras will drive the women away.
In response, the police say they are constantly reviewing new
public areas for further expansion of the cameras. - CNA
