Singapore is doing jack shit wrt human trafficking.
If somebody can cite me government policy papers, KPIs, statistics, news reports to prove me wrong, go ahead. I will accept my mistake. But I haven't seen any action on the part of our government yet.
And the links between al-Jazeera and al-Qaeda and Osama are unproven. Al-Jazeera is a Qatari international news network, run by a Sheikh. They've got a business to run. The English wing has BBC, CNN and Fox to compete with. In fact, they were perceived as anti-Saudi (Wahhabi) that some Saudis set up their own news agency al-Arabiyya to compete. So get your facts right. And if anyone has seen their news reports on youtube will agree that they report with integrity. And nobody out there should be a naive fool enough to believe that news agencies are 'objective' - nobody is, not even our beloved CNA. Nobody can be totally objective, but as long as they report with compassion and integrity, I'm ok with it. And I think this report was made with compassion and integrity.
I know a lot of the girls come here voluntarily, but the onus on any good government is to ensure that there isn't any sex slavery here - do we have any laws to ensure that? Any enforcement mechanisms?
feel free to disagree with me

hello bro jamesiandvi,
do you know what are u talking about?
1. Prostitution is the oldest trade in the world. Alomost every country in the world has it except may be the Vatican, if you call that small area a country.
USA, Europe and western countries probably has the highest numbers of prostitutes in the world. Are they doing any thing about it? They have legalised all the vices.
2. The Arabs are famous for their harems. Where are the women from?
U can ask the Interpol. A lot of women gone missing worldwide, a large percent of the sex slaves goes to the Arab Peninsula, cos they are in the enslaved by the sex hungry sheikhs and the culprits are untouchables. They are blatantly doing it cos they are oily rich.
3. links between al-Jazeera and al-Qaed not proven?
They have been promoting the 'jihad' mujadhudden causes. I see that as an implicit link. It is the action, do we need proof?
