Peace Centre turning into mini Geylang
 

From article: http://therealsingapore.com/content/...lang-singapore

"[ Letter sent to Mr Masagos Zulkifli Bin Masagos Mohamad, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Foreign Affairs ]


Dear Encik Masagos,

Salam and I would like to feedback of the not-so-peaceful, Peace Centre and its rowdy/sleazy activities taking place with your ministry licensing permit.

My relative who lives across the street and runs a provision shop in the centre, runs her store literally with fear. In the daytime, anyone who passes by the place could never have imagined that come nightfall, the place effectively turns into a “second Geylang” with rampant coyotes, drugs and the likes of gangsters pitting for influence/control over the scene.

Lawlessness is the norm and order of the night with police not daring to bring crime rates there under control. Rioting with damages to property, blatant smoking in prohibited spots, open selling of controlled and sex enhancement drugs are all but a common and frequent sight. The toilets hygiene standards are also severely lacking.

We knew there were some ongoings but only realised the magnitude of the problem when we went there to unload some goods that had arrived for our store in the middle of the night. Thank goodness nothing bad happened to us as we were in Hijab but I could see that decent folks would avoid the place for fear of sexual harassment.

I had also previously thought that the zone comes under the exclusive “no alcohol zone” and thus wonder how can this still take place? This is also where diplomat Silviu Ionescu would patronise call-girls after getting intoxicated, causing the infamous “2009 Romanian Diplomat Incident”.

In view of the worsening situation, I hope you can instill measures to prevent this part of CBD from turning into another hopeless Jln Suka.

Thank you.

Re: Pearl Centre turning into mini Geylang
 

the macik draw comparising that peace center was becoming jalan suka? so i think we can draw conclusion that the macik has a shop near peace center, and jalan suka is her familiar haunt :confused::eek:

Re: Pearl Centre turning into mini Geylang
 

Looks like someone will be very busy soon. :D

Re: Pearl Centre turning into mini Geylang
 

A lot of places also become mini Geylang, not only Peace centre. Sooner or later, even you can see your neighbors into it, haha! :D

Re: Pearl Centre turning into mini Geylang
 

With police clampdown on Little India and now Geylang...this is not surprising.

Re: Pearl Centre turning into mini Geylang
 

haha some time they just nothing better to do :D

Re: Pearl Centre turning into mini Geylang
 

Eh thanks for noticing haha. I always mix up these two places.

Re: Pearl Centre turning into mini Geylang
 

I don't see any leads in it. Besides the letter already went up to the top already so I don't see any harm in re-posting this at all.

Re: Pearl Centre turning into mini Geylang
