Geylang is a neighbourhood of Singapore east of CBD area.
The neighbourhood has been the center of Singapore's malay community since malay and Orang Laut settled there after the British authorities dispersed their floating village at the mouth of the Singapore River in mid-19th century.
Partly untouched by urban projects and developments and so far spared by the gentrification process that has changed the face of the city-state since the 1970s, Geylang's combination of shophouse scenery and hectic day and night life (including a red-light district, foreign workers quarters and KTV lounges) provides an alternative view to the modern Singapore.
