Geylang

Geylang is a neighbourhood of the city-state of Singapore east of its central business district area.

The neighbourhood has been the center of Singapore's Malay community since Malays and Orang Laut settled there after the British authorities dispersed their floating village at the mouth of the Singapore River in mid-19th century.

Partly untouched by urban projects and developments and so far spared by the gentrification process that has changed the face of Singapore since the 1970s, Geylang's combination of shophouse scenery and hectic day and night life (including a red-light district, foreign workers quarters and KTV lounges) provides an alternative view to the modern Singapore. Geylang is the only place in Singapore where there are licensed brothels.
