--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) The Director may examine the woman or girl as to her reasons for entering or being in Singapore and may examine the person respecting the woman or girl, and the woman or girl and the person shall be legally bound to answer such questions truthfully to the best of their ability.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(3) The Director may also require any person in whose custody or under whose control the woman or girl appears to be to furnish him with copies of her and the person’s photograph and to furnish security to the satisfaction of the Director that she will not leave Singapore without the previous consent in writing of the Director and will not be trained or disposed of as a prostitute or for immoral purposes and will not, whether by way of adoption, marriage or otherwise, be transferred to the care and custody of any other person without the previous consent in writing of the Director and that she will be produced before the Director whenever he requires it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(4) In default of such photographs and security being given, the Director may by warrant under his hand order the woman or girl to be removed to a place of safety and there detained until she can be returned to the place from where she was brought or until other proper provision can be made for her welfare.

Security on departure of woman or girl from Singapore

158. (1) Whenever the Director is of opinion that it is in the interests of any woman or girl as is referred to in section 156 that she should be permitted to leave Singapore, the Director may grant permission upon being supplied with such photographs of the woman or girl as he may require and upon security being given to his satisfaction that the person in whose custody or control she appears to be will bring her before such public officer within such period and at such destination as may be specified in the bond.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(2) The giving of such further security shall not relieve any person who furnished the security required by section 156 from any obligation under the conditions of the bond entered into under that section, other than the condition relating to departure from Singapore, unless the public officer in the territory where such woman or girl then resides obtains fresh security conditioned in the manner specified in that section.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(3) A certificate under the hand of the public officer referred to in subsection (1) that such woman or girl has not been brought before him shall in any legal proceedings be conclusive evidence to that effect, unless the court requires that officer to be called as a witness.

(c) whom the Director believes to have been ill-treated and is in need of protection; or

(d) whom the Director considers to be in moral danger,

may, by warrant under the hand of the Director, be ordered to be removed to a place of safety and there detained until he has held an inquiry as to the circumstances of her case.

(2) Every such inquiry shall be completed within a period of one month from the date of the woman’s or girl’s admission into the place of safety.

indeed top info for all bros

The laws may be good but the way it is used is a sham. On a square mile basis, Singapore probably has more prostitutes than any other country in the world!

We have PRCs, Viets, Thais and Indons who come here by the thousands - just to keep up the 'tourist' numbers.

Singapore is NOT a Buzzing place, it's a CHEONGING place! All we not now is to improve the standard of service.

Great with an old bird telling the forumers, it will definitely carry much weight.

I have been informing bros of the danger of being 'deemed' as an okt under S146(3).

Forumers may wish to see my other postings on the sentencings and the caselaw passed down by CJ Yong.

WOW! The laws are written in circles. So in plain English, prostitution is illegal in Singapore?
