I was in Singapore for the Grand Prix in 2023.  I was having a wonder and I was on a road called "Orchard Road"  It was night time about 10pm.  There was a cash point on Orchard Road and from looking at google maps.  I cannot see the bank there but if you look up "Mb Jewellery" and " 7-Eleven".  it is near the crossing.   This is where it all started.  At the time.  There was a bank and ATM machine there.  There were a lot of women that were just hanging out.  It was on that side of the road, I could not see the other side of the road.

It came to my attention they were prostitutes.  From observing them.  They were approaching single men. 
I was walking down Orchard Road and I got approached twice.  The first lady was from Singapore and stunning, glasses, black hair, 24, 5'2 and a little black dress and she was using google translate to chat to me.  She was saying she will go anything I want and she was after some fun.  I did not get any information on prices as I was in a rush for dinner.  She shooked my hand to say no problem and walked away.   
I then got approached by an older lady and her mate.  Their English was pretty good and I again declined their offer. She had bleached blonde hair, wore red and black and a full face of make up.  Her mate was wearing blue, both about 5'7 with massive heels on.   They were probably in their 40s.  I said I was not looking for anything that day. 

I am posting this more for information.  If anyone is looking to get lucky in Singapore, they can try Orchard Road.

Sounds like you were outside Orchard Towers?
Is Orchard Towers still open, there was some talk of it being knocked down?
Unlikely that the girl was a local Singaporean - especially if having to use Google Translate. There are/were girls from Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, PRC, etc

I was Orchard Road near a bank. They approached me.
I think the 1st one was from Vietnam. The 2nd one and her mate looked quite local. But could have been Chinese. I really don't know as I didn't ask.

Not sure about Orchard Towers. If that is a place where there are 3 towers and there is a boat looking structure on top. That was open. But I don't think that is near to Orchard Road.

I know I said they were local. But thinking back. She could have been from Vietnam. Maybe. I didn't ask the question. Just wanted to share my experience

The building with the three towers is the Marina Bay Sands Hotel which as its name implies is on the far side of Marina Bay several miles from Orchard Towers.
