Geylang: Not Just The Seedy Underbelly Of Singapore | On The Red Dot | Full Episode

When we think of Singapore’s underbelly, undoubtedly Geylang gets uttered. It’s often synonymous with crime, vices and shady business. Most of Geylang’s 44 sprawling even-numbered alleyways or lorongs, are home to Singapore’s legal red-light district.

But beneath what you think you know of Geylang is a neighbourhood that defies stereotypes and proves to be much more than its dodgy reputation. This place celebrates heritage and preservation, with art and talent going against the grain while new establishments add new meaning and purpose to a still-evolving locale.

Join Joakim Gomez as he walks on the wild side of Geylang and uncover its “wow” sides instead.
