Invisible Trade - High-class sex for sale in Singapore |
|
"..Thanks
to the constant influx of business travellers, a
floating world exists that few talk about, where
beautiful escorts from various countries offer
discreet companionship for a price, one not usually
proffered in the bars and brothels of Asia. |
|
"Writer
Gerrie Lim investigated this phenomenon and gained
access to the secret world of high-priced sex workers.
The result is a series of lucid portraits offering
insights into this remarkable area of modern
commerce..." blurb |

A
Ripe Old Age |
|
Edited
by Kua Ee Heok & Ko Soo Meng |
|
"This book
will fill the lacunae of knowledge on ageing in
Singapore and help elderly and young people have a
better understanding and perspective of ageing. It is
not a pedestrian book about arid facts but covers a
broad spectrum of topics on ageing like nutrition and
longevity, cognitive changes and coping with grief.
Marital and sexual relationships are discussed with
candour by specialists in these fields."

|
"...But if you define “literate” as meaning a
well-read society, your answer would probably be “no” and you would be
quite right. |
