Sex, drugs and security cameras: Touring Geylang, Singapore’s legal red-light district

Now we’re about to walk past a corner selling sex drugs, see if you can spot the different pills.” It’s not what you’d expect to hear from a Singaporean tour guide, but then Cai Yinzhou is not your typical guide, and this is not a neighborhood in Singapore many visitors have experienced.

We’re on a night walk through Geylang, an area that’s shunned by most Singaporeans and a long way from the typical tourist trails of Gardens by the Bay, Chinatown and Orchard Road. The reason locals give it such a wide berth (at least publicly)? Its status as Singapore’s only official red-light district. The stalls Yinzhou is referring to are actually peddling a selection of stimulants, ranging from Viagra to pills allegedly made from tiger penis and pangolin scales, all claiming to help give gentlemen a boost in the bedroom. It’s illegal to sell them without a doctor’s prescription, let alone on the streets of Singapore.
