Orchard Towers Singapore

The Orchard Towers Singapore is popular among the Singaporeans and the tourists for numerous reasons. What are they?

Among the most obvious, it is a hot-spot of night clubs, bars where a lot of sleazy and disreputable commercial transactions happen. During the day, this eighteen story office building, located at the corner of Claymore Road and the Orchard Road, and thus the name, houses some of the retail storefronts and office styled work places.

The whole structure was completed in 1975 and ever since the story of the (dis)repute of the building has grown. Today, it is socially accepted as a part of the entertainment circuit in these parts of the region, where there is a lot of flesh trade and some flourishing businesses involving prostitution, which is legalized by the government.

The whole of the eighteen floors are not dedicated to this kind of business; it is mainly the first four floors which have attracted this name, because a lot of international visitors from the former Russian states and also other parts of the globe, who hold legal visas to visit the country, come here as part of the flesh trade syndicate, and will return once their permit expires.

This is indeed a startling revelation, but in these geographic areas, where prostitution is ignored by the government, and in some of the remote or rural parts this is a way of life, the industry is flourishing and attracting a lot of foreign exchange.

The Orchard Towers Singapore also houses some of the popular shopping trappings that exist even at other malls and shopping arcades. The only contentious issue here is that the Orchard Tower is home to the illegal brothels in the first few floors, and they operate under pseudo pretences of being bars and clubs.

In Orchard Towers, the whole flesh trade industry bigwigs use these places as the conduit point for soliciting and conducting their trade. There are lots of middle men, commission agents and gigolos, are paid some of the highest remunerations in the industry.

The saga of the Orchards Towers Singapore continues for so many decades after the tower came into existence. Though the actual functioning of these covert activities remained under wraps for several years, and the whole business was conducted on a word-of-mouth basis, it was only in the post eighties that it became the top destination of the tourists, and people of this industry, thanks to the mobile culture.
