Why don't you close down all Karaoke Bars. They do all rubbish things. Send CID to all these places.

I graduated from Coventry, but i bet a constable makes more money than me on a daily basis.

Petition to legalise Prostitution.....??? I don't say its the best step, but to some extent this might curb crimes and also give some legitimacy , also less exploitation of these innocent females trying to make a living... Govt should step in !! Its not like this business is going to STOP over night...

The Devils like Malaka & Duminda are Free, the Police after small frys, because no renumeration.

Only these houses of ill fame are dangerous? What about the many rapists walking scot free? Dont the rape victims families break down ?

Naman Sunday, 23 September 2012 04:57 PM

The panadura police has to come to Wellawate to raid the brothel? What was the Wellawatte police doing? This what you call commendable? Why the Wellwatte police didn't raid the brother is left to your imagination!

Why don't the authorities allow lenience prostitutes and a Red Light street for Colombo This should be confined to one area only. (Slave Island)

Once again it’s a ministry secretary of the ruling gourvernement

It is only the small time brothels which are raided and small time prostitutes penalised. What about the 5 star brothels and those prostitutes who cater to the high and the mighty? They get away scot-free.

Yes, Sex Workers are always flexible with their clients

Leave the brothels alone, they provide a valuable service. Ever since the police started cracking down on brothels the rapes statistics has increased.

Its a commendable thing that police has done here, raiding a place with higher influence. These houses of ill-fame are equally dangerous as drug dens, because both of these are equally addictive, and results in breakdown of the family unit, and in long term, the whole society.

When cops are not given free shots or commissions this happen, otherwise no problem pity

Public Abilik Saturday, 22 September 2012 09:23 AM

What the hell is wrong with this country? This is one of the oldest professions in the history of mankind. While the cops are going after prostitutes, Rapists are walking around with impunity.

Calistus Jayatilleke Saturday, 22 September 2012 09:15 AM

Once in a way the Police is conducting some raids here and there just to show the public that they are still active but everybody knows they are really scared of politicians, their families and hangers-on.

PeterPan Saturday, 22 September 2012 09:12 AM

Is it because they had forgotten to cut you guys in ? just grow up.How come a sexual intercourse between two consensual adults is illegal ,whether the money involved or not.

Subbiah Saturday, 22 September 2012 09:01 AM

Be flexible with the sex workers. They are making a living.

Bandara Saturday, 22 September 2012 08:59 AM

Exactly!

Maybe Mervin,s Secretary

Tony Saturday, 22 September 2012 08:35 AM

The police seem very efficient in catching prostitutes. But they are highly inefficient when having to catch alleged lawbreakers such as Malaka Silva. The cops should concentrate on real crime instead of trying to be moral police, like in Saudi Arabia.
