  • The LGBT Debate: What Really Is The Crux Of The Issue?

    The LGBT Debate: What Really Is The Crux Of The Issue?

    Dear A.S.S. Editor

    I know what the response to this contribution will be like. But nonetheless this is one issue I have no regrets standing my ground on.

    Over the past few days we have witnessed an intense debate over Cathay Cineleisure’s decision to put up posters promoting Pink Dot. But that is not the biggest crux of the issue. The biggest crux is what is the fight for and about. I have shared my position. Those who have agreed with mine have shared ours. But the most important question is what is the crux of the matter.

    Is the fight about the “freedom to love”? I don’t think so. If it is truly about love, then how can you on the “freedom to love” movement subject others to the other side of the aisle the most unlovable form of response? Let’s face the hard truth, a good tree bears good fruits and your fruits give you away. If it is truly about love there is no need to bring up the religious beliefs or association of one for attack and vigilante treatment just because of disagreement in worldview as a matter of first response. The fact that one’s religious beliefs were singled out when for that matter it wasn’t used in the debate shows that the real problem is not about the freedom to love. It lies elsewhere. Case in point. Why was there the need to bring up the chairman of ASAS’s religion and church when the ASAS did not even call for Pink Dot’s publicity ad to be taken down completely but rather for its subtitle “freedom to love” to be amended? And also factoring in that the call was made according to the book and not based on some hastily inserted clause or rule?

    I think let’s be honest about this.

    On my earlier case of kleptomania and homosexuality. We don’t legitimise kleptomania because it goes against the natural order of things. And that’s my case with homosexuality too. For if homosexuality is indeed what we were made for and the natural order of things all marital relationships would naturally gravitate towards homosexual ones and the heterosexuals will be the ones clamouring for the “right to love”.

    We already have a “right to love”. That is why adultery is not criminalised in Singapore and neither is prostitution nor pre-marital sex. And we already know what the social and health related consequences are and if you want to push the line back further my advice is to calculate the cost first, not only for us but for our children. And if you want to flame me for this article, watch the flame burn and decide for yourselves if the question is about the freedom to love, or the real question lies elsewhere.

  • Another Faulty Lift In Sengkang Trapped 70 Year Old Retiree In Lift For 40 Minutes

    Another Faulty Lift In Sengkang Trapped 70 Year Old Retiree In Lift For 40 Minutes

    Two days after the ceiling panel of a lift at Block 325A Sengkang East Way fell and hurt a girl, the other lift at the block broke down on Friday afternoon (June 9). The breakdown trapped a 70-year-old man inside the lift for 40 minutes, and left residents in the block with no lift access during this period.

    The first lift with the faulty ceiling remains under repair till Monday (June 12).

    Retiree Lee Keng Duan, who was trapped in the lift on Friday, said: “This lift has been always breaking down. I’m not so scared for myself, but I worry that my granddaughter could get trapped one day.”

    He could not call anyone as his mobile phone had no reception, but one of his neighbours, Mr Sanjay Panday, happened to pass by at 4.40pm, and alerted the Ang Mo Kio Town Council (AMKTC).

    “I heard the alarm, and saw that this old man was stuck in the lift, which had stopped between the first and second floor. This is very worrying, it is the school holidays, and imagine that there are kids who might be stuck in the lift if they happen to be inside,”said the 40-year-old workplace safety and health officer.

    Mr Panday, who has lived at Block 325A since 2007, added that lift breakdowns in the block have been increasingly regular, echoing the views of several other residents interviewed by TODAY.

  • Ridjal Noor: Why Malay/Muslim Community Largely Apathetic Over Ramadan Bazaar Issue?

    Ridjal Noor: Why Malay/Muslim Community Largely Apathetic Over Ramadan Bazaar Issue?

    The first question:
    Why are some quarters in the community so busy defending the issue of the bazaar Ramadan? Every day campaigning and raising questions, and brainstorming for solutions.

    Because they are trying to preserve the quality and feel and integrity of this yearly bazaar that’s special and unique to the community.

    The second question:
    But if the community feels so strongly against what’s happening today, then just vote with your spending dollar lah, right? Don’t spend there and the organisers will learn their lesson and learn to respect the laws of the land, correct? People power and all that, right?

    Unfortunately, no. This is the hardest of change to bring about.

    This is why only some quarters are campaigning. The rest are still happily, blissfully ignorantly heading down and voting with their dollars that they don’t care. The herds and their mentality. Sometimes it seems, you just can’t save the community from itself.

    They accept the erosion of values over time without batting an eyelid. They only stop to make viral make viral certain issues. Other than that they steamroll over every bump in the road and move on undeterred, uncaring for the issues dear at heart to the community at large.

    So I agree with Sadali Ami. The community gets the leaders it deserves. And you can’t save the community from itself.
