(Revisions are in red) with apologiesIn this post, I will ESTIMATE the total number of prostitutes and the number of prostitutes on an average day in different places in Singapore AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR. In a next post, I estimate the number of prostitutes based on nationalities in each of these places. The third post shows the total number of prostitutes for each nationality in Singapore. Throughout the posts, a prostitute is defined as a woman who offer sexual intercourse for money at least once and intends to do so again. 'Others' refers to those groups not mentioned in each category.Numbers based on areas and/or entertainment niches1 Geylang : 3,5002 Orchard Towers and surrounding areas: 1,2003 Joo Chiat :10004 Golden Mile Thai discos : 500 (400)5 Areas around Desker Road and Flaunders Square : 400 (300)6 Forested areas and mobile dens: 500(150)7 Tanjong Pagar/ Duxton's pubs and nearby areas : 5008 East Coast Road pubs : 4009 Big massage parlours elsewhere in Singapore : 1,10010 Small massage parlours elsewhere in Singapore : 55011.
