2007: Did not support the repeal of Section 377A

In my view, the Government's status quo stand on homosexual activities under section 377A is for the benefit of society as a whole.  The fact is, even though our country is open and receptive to changes and diversity, our society's majority view is still conservative in many aspects of life.  But I concede that current points of view, especially amongst youths, are changing to a more progressive one.

2007: Homosexual lifestyle is outside the mainstream

Homosexual activities, although undoubtedly exist, are still considered a lifestyle outside the mainstream society.  From a secular point of view, it is something personal and I feel that it is good to leave it as such.  But many of my constituents and community leaders have given feedback that by making the activity not considered as an offence, it can be seen as an endorsement or support and this will divide society.  They believe that the Government will make the appropriate decision that will reflect our social situation in Singapore.
