THE SOCIAL EVIL

Singapore, like Hongkong. has taken measures for the suppres sion of houses of ill-fame, and the, first annual police report on the matter contains some interesting disclosures. Whilst some dif- culty has been experienced in get- ting convictions against those per- mitting their property to be used for purposes of prostitution, it is recorded that

landlords many have enabled the police to clear

their premises of undesirable tenants. It is further put on re- cord that police and S.C.A. action has resulted in the almost entire disappearance of soliciting in public by European women, 38 well as the closing down of large numbers of recognised brothels,

been

found that there is a large in- crease in soliciting by Chinese prostitutes in public places, an increase in the use of so-called hotels by prostitutes and their clients, and an increase in the number of "aly" houses.
