“I thought Singapore is one of the most inclusive place in the world because… it is deep in our DNA to be inclusive and take in people of all shapes and sizes, all from everywhere, all backgrounds.
And you mentioned LGBTQ, the fact is they live in Singapore peacefully. No discrimination against work, housing, education, to go about their lives. And therefore this is what we are. But however on the issue of LGBT, it is also an issue of social mores and societal values. The population of Singapore is split in two when it comes to legislative changes.
So the government’s view has always been, when concerns such an issue, it’s better, we might be the largest animal in the jungle but we are not the jungle. Some things we leave it to society to decide over time.”

How come he not ah neh but speaks with a forked tongue? A melting pot of races and nationalities do not necessarily mean it is an Inclusive place. The Singapore DNA used to be free-spirited and innovative but has now been subverted by the PAP Obedience School to become order-takers and yesmen with little or no initiative. Some will even say we have become comatose or brain-dead in terms of new ideas and innovations.
