A young mother told Lianhe Wanbao that she was mistaken for a
prostitute and molested on Orchard Road.
Lianhe Wanbao reports that the woman was window shopping with
her husband and young son in Orchard Road after having dinner when
they observed that there were many street walkers dressed in
revealing clothes trolling the area.
They felt like they had stumbled onto a red light district where
the barely dressed women were making advances to passersby. She
said "it felt like they were in Geylang".
She became even more indignant when she was mistaken for a
prostitute by a stranger, who bumped into her and groped her
buttocks.
"I thought that an incident like this would only happen in
Geylang, now I know you will also be taken for a hooker on Orchard
Road if you are well dressed, and put on make up."
The reader feels that such incidents, if they become common
place, will make shoppers feel harassed and drive them from the
malls. As Orchard Road is an iconic tourist attraction, it will
also tarnish Singapore's image.
Molested at Orchard Towers
Two years ago, a woman working at a
convenience store at Orchard Towers - an infamous haunt for
prostitutes and transvestites - reported a case of molest in the
building.
She said that her molester was belligerent, and asked her
"haven't you been touched by a man before?"
When she complained to the security guard, he said "don't you
know what this place is for?"
She finally made a police report, and the case attracted
considerable media and public attention for a period of time.
This is not the first time the encroachment of sex workers on
Orchard Road has been observed.
Readers, including the woman featured above, have asked for the
authorities to put measures in place and step up patrols of Orchard
Road so that both Singaporeans and tourists can continue to shop in
peace.
