6. Man Pimps Teen for Sex

THE High Court is deliberating over the appropriate punishment to be handed down to a pimp who had arranged for a teenage prostitute to have sex with a 55-year-old man.

This is the first case to come before the courts under a newly-enacted law to protect the young from sexual exploitation.

In August, China national Wang Minjiang was fined $8,000 by a district court for aiding Tan Chye Hin, 55, to obtain sexual services of a 17-year-old girl he had brought in from China.

For the record, I am ALL FOR foreign Talent.
But this evident spate of cases in just this recent quarter is surely a cause for concern.

And the Serangoon Gardens Dorm, is going to be built in my vicinity =)
That calls for pepper spray stock-up.
Not biased, just a precautionary measure, considering the warped times I return home.

Everyone's waiting for the change. Just wonder how it'd come about... expectations are skyhigh now, though his moves to limit the influence of lobbyists will give him some breathing room in that pressure cooker
