BROTHEL. Temple. Brothel, brothel. Temple, brothel, temple. Geylang's houses of ill repute are making space for the religious, with at least 16 Buddhist and Taoist temples moving into the red-light district just last year alone.
Between Lorong 19 and Lorong 27A, about 20 of 55 temples are less than five years old.
Wang Ye Fu, a Taoist temple in Lorong 25, moved in only two months ago. In the next street, the Chong Hood Lim Temple will open next year as a four-storey tower dedicated to Dipankara Buddha, a respected Buddhist teacher.
