We hope the Ministry of Education (MOE) will consider the feelings of parents like us also who are neither 'liberal' nor 'conservative' but are concerned that our child gets a well-balanced, progressive education.
Singapore is a multicultural and multireligious society and MOE must recognise that not all religious groups and non-believers necessarily think of homosexuality as immoral or criminal. At the end of the day, what we want for our child is that he grows up non-discriminative and non-prejudicial, and is able to make critical decisions, and love and be loved in return.

SG is the richest country in the region or SEA, 2nd richest country in asia.

OKay i won't deny it's location is very good for entrepot trading. The development by the British also aided to its status of a developed country yet the same can be said of matland.

So what do you guys think if sg was under malay rule? It would probably be under the sultan of johor's juristristion and i think all those johor criminals would be running rampant in SG.

What do u guys think?


Also SG has a majority pop of 75% chinese whom made the country what it is today. If the % were changed say more malays would SG be better or worse?

Their criticism is oblique and targetted.

I am sure cultures that tolerate homosexuality are as man-made as others that don't. Anthropologists will show them that many cultures practise cannibalism, incest, polygamy, bestiality, paedophilia, etc. too Can we use them as justification as well?

If there was a gay gene, there won't be any sexuality problems today. The homosexuals would have gone extinct long ago because they cannot re-produce among themselves.

Even if some closet gays entered into heterosexual relationships and reproduced, the gene pool would still have diminished through time. Moreover, civilisation is very short compared to the human history. Savage gays would have gone extinct before civilisation - long before culture, the bible and closet gays came into being.

If they are hinting that homosexuals are born and hence not a choice, they are right. But if they are hinting that homosexuality is not a choice, then they are dead wrong. Have they not heard of a practice called celibacy (or abstinence)? In the first place, they should realise that society (Christian Tele-babes and all) and the law accept homosexuals. It is homosexuality that society/the law cannot tolerate. In fact, society/the law has turned a blind eye towards monogamous underground gay relationships.

I am sure hetero sex is just as pleasurable as homo sex, if not more pleasurable. The feeling of physical attraction is just as intense, if not more intense. So why practise double standard: skimpy clothes is considered slutty, going around naked is illegal, a man masturbating in front of a female is deemed outrage of modesty, pre-marital sex is shameful, etc.? The worst is the law that says having consensual sex with an underaged is illegal and older accused receive longer sentences than their younger counterparts regardless of the level of mutual affection/consent.

If the pseudo-liberals can accept homosexuality, surely they can accept their underaged daughters having sex with older men or their sons going to prostitutes. Might as well accept incest and polygamy too.

If there was any discrimination, it has to be that the law is very tolerant towards gay girls but not so for gay guys.

I wonder how MOE will react to different parents and school affiliatations...

Catholic schools like CHIJ and SJI..... no sex, total abstinence, no contraceptions, no STDs, no condoms, no pre-martial sex, no AIDs, and will grow hair on palms if masturbate,,,

Christian schools like ACJC, MGS.... similar to catholic schools but can have condoms, and total abstinence of sex,,,,,

Progressive schools like LaSalle, Nanyang, arty-farty schools, anything goes and safe sex

Neighborhood schools, conserfvative, must try total abstinence, if cannot, condoms and safe sex, and kena STDs, see doctor fast fast

MOE how to write programmes for these different taste schools le?

Different principal different ideology, different standards,,,,,,

where have general acceptable level for schools,,,,,

For parents, some prefer ultra conservative views, some ching chai view, some liberal views,,,,,, and we cannot seggregate different schools for children of such parents

I like your bluntness in admitting you are dull. Very few people are so forthright or brave.

But sorry, I don't think I can make it any simpler.

Try reading slowly. If not just give it a miss. It's nothing important anyway.
