Video of Dr Balaji's speech at 6th Singapore AIDS Conference on 8 Nov

[Avantas]

Excerpts from Dr Balaji Sadisivan’s opening address:

“HIV-related stigma and discrimation in our society is a real and disturbing problem.”

“Despite HIV being in our vocabulary for the past 27 years, there is still a lot of fear. Misconceptions about HIV abound and this form the foundation for a lot of stigmatizing behavior.”

“In many communities, HIV-infected people suffer adverse consequences of stigma and discrimination such as social ostracization, abandonment by family and friends and loss of jobs. Fear of consequences make it less likely for people to come forward for testing, access to treatment and for care and support.”

Yes, and now they are increasing the discrimination by mandatory fee-based tests at hospitals. U need to exercise your right against paying for an indignity that is more interested in making life simple for PAP to brand you for a heated iron rod. Fuck you no prick PAP. Cowards failures but no worry, PAP time is totally over. Gerrymander and cheat with GRC and the PAP haters, including FT citizens are still more than 50 percent.

They would fail for all of them but still get elected because the evil senile incompetent wants to try to have a dynasty in textbooks like that of Imperial China. Lesson in politics of power corrupts, especially in the uneducated. Do not be mistaken that many honors even the highest first class are given to dickheads meant to serve the purpose of colonial masters, especially those given out for the first 45 years after the war.
