2024: Praised former PM Lee for various initiatives in service as PM, including announcing repeal of 377A

PM Lee also announced the repeal of 377A at NDR 2022, as he felt it was the “right thing to do”, to reflect the aspirations of gay Singaporeans to be respected and accepted.

2022: Students cancelled for being "conservative"

At the same time, I have also spoken to many individuals who are worried about where our society is headed should section 377A be repealed. In an engagement with over 100 members of the public who had written to their Members of Parliament, some youths recounted how they had experienced being ostracised or “cancelled” in schools and Universities because they were seen to be “conservative” and not advocating gay rights.

2022: Workers singled out at workplaces for being seen as homophobic

Others spoke about how they were singled out at their workplaces because they are religious and, by default, seen to be homophobic and, therefore, at odds with the company’s diversity and inclusion policies. I saw a grandmother’s hand trembling, as she spoke about her grave concerns should Singapore go down the slippery slope as some other countries have after decriminalising gay sex.

2022: Supported the repeal of Section 377A and constitutional amendment

On the one hand, repealing section 377A will better protect the freedom and rights of individuals and reduce social pressure on homosexuals. On the other hand, upholding the institution of marriage will help to maintain the stability of the relevant laws and policies and reduce the worries of various ethnic groups. Therefore, I hope that everyone will adopt an inclusive and balanced attitude towards the two Bills and move forward together as one united people.

2022: Marriage must be preserved

We propose to repeal section 377A to bring it in line with the law. At the same time, the institution of marriage should be preserved, not subverted. The two Bills strike a balance between freedom and stability, just like the two ends of the scale, which cannot be separated from each other, so as to achieve a balance and harmony in society as a whole.

2021: Visited shelter for transgenders facing family violence

I valued the opportunity to meet with June Chua, Executive Director of The T Project. I had last met her over zoom a few months ago when I wanted to seek her inputs and views on preventing family violence.
