Quick, start your activism pens now.

You have till 9am on Dec 9 to write through Reach regarding the proposed amendments to the Penal Code. Everyone is strongly encouraged to voice their opinion.

We need as many voices as possible to tell them what the majority really think.

As our own commitment to the community, all of us - Ian, Nicholas, and me, Jasper, will be writing to reach about the repeal of the amendments of the Penal Code. We say it, and we mean it.

So what are you waiting for? Spread this link around, and of course send your own thoughts to Reach!

If you think this is not going to work, I’ll tell you: I believe that there’s power in unity, and in unity there’s always hope.

So how will there be unity? Simple. It must first start with YOU.

    Dear Sirs,

    SUBMISSION ON THE PROPOSED ABOLISING THE RESERVIST-SERVICEMEN AND BANNING OF LOCK-UP THE HOMOSEXUALITY IN SINGAPORE

    I advocate the following with a lot of vex:

    First of all, I am sick and tire of the “terme” reservist-servicemen. why did the singpore goverment invented this terme ? I strongly certify that a total abolition of the reservist men in singapore should be done away ! This inculde the abolition in the 2 years prison for both the same sex (homosexuels)men.

    Singapore is not entirely all a demorcartic country if we look from the point of view political international. Until we have the humain rights and freedom of speech, Singapore can never be a democratic country! Why must Singapore government always holds the upper-hand in controling all things and said ? It demonstrate nothing but manifest its absolute autocratic and communist idea-minded. This is very dangerous because there is no such thing as “human rights” and the fact “freedom of speech” in singapor does not exist ! ( Anything more than 4 peoples needs to be intervening by the troops of polices). It thus creates an increasing imprisonment and caning for penalty utimately, even to the extend of discrimination against homosexual men, showing a lack of respect for their constitutional and human rights! Obviously the singapore goverment implant FEAR in the mind of singaporeans!!!!!!

    By the way, “Gay rights activists in Singapore are urging the government to do away with a decades-old law that criminalizes gay sex, claiming that the law is archaic!” ! This is absurb and crazy that the laws prohibted such a right which the world actually rewarded to the gay pride, only the fantic religious monotheism world would tolerate such archaic and scandalous gouvement ideas!!!!

    For God’s sake, whoever is reading my feedback content, do envoy this message directly to the Parliment singapore governement !!! Let those fuckers read it. Do NOT censor the whole message !

    Come on, it is now time that the singaporeans be mature and be an open-minded society. Let them be a grown-up international sound minded society and not a close-minded conservatrice society ( as claimed by your prime minister lee sieng long). It is also time for its people to realise that the singaporeans could and should stood up for its own. They should not be giving any more rooms to allow the singpore gouvement controlling their private life !

    Singaporeans have every single right to be treated equally, especially the men and homosexeuels! Even after our 2 and half years national services for singapore, I can’t beleive that the government still comple the singporeans men for the reservists! This is absoultely absurb and waste of time. I felt that once again it deprive the humains rights here! I strongly condamn the notions of the “reservists-sereviemens” created by this old fashion man M Tony Tan! : could someone please tell this old fucker that it is also time that the reservist-servicemen should be abolish entirely ! Let the singaporeans men have the FREEDOM ! YES COMPLETE Freedom ! NO MORE RESERVIST-SERvicemen!!!!!!! NO MORE !!!
    We are sick and tire of the singapore goverment ! We do not want anymore being control by the goverment nor letting them telling us what to do!

    The privacy of heterosexuals and lesbians are respected but why not also the right for the gay men?? They are deprived of their fundamental right to freely express their love for someone of their choice. The right to stand equal before the law and freedom of expression are an inherent dignity and inalienable right of humankind. It does not foster greater understanding and integration for the gay men, who are often responsible, upright and contributing members of society.

    I hereby repeal the entire abolition of prison awarded to both the same sex men who engages in non-consensual sex with his partners. Let the abolition also apply for the reservist-servicemen!

    Yours faithfully,
    Mr. Super Angry
