Monday, April 27, 2009 @ Monday, April 27, 2009
I should hope at least my reader at here have at least some sense of wat is Aware all about..
Coz i dun wanna waste my time explaining all over again...
For thoes which are unclear about wat in heaven is happening rite nw...u can google it...^^
After these few days of reading thoes articles from newspaper to online forums, i finally come to a conclusion...
I am neither supporting the old guard and the new guard...
Coz first of all, I dun noe abt aware until now...so it's none of my concern..
And seriously speaking, the new guard sucks...
Just read this..
A STAFF member was fired, locks were changed and the police called in - twice.
Not bad hur...changing of new lock for??
It's a foul play...It's not fair play...
Plus, the master mind for all this Aware saga is actually some woman who claim herself to be a "feminist mentor" at the parliament...and also the main character to repeal against 377A back in 2007...
She is the Sarah Palin of Singapore...Kudos to her man...
The Straits Times reported similarly:
Senior lawyer Thio Su Mien yesterday revealed the key role she played
in bringing about the change of leadership at the Association of Women for
Action and Research (Aware).
Appearing at a press conference called at short notice by some of the
association's new leaders, she said she was alarmed to discover that Aware had
lost sight of its original purpose and become pro-lesbian and
pro-homosexual.
Dr Thio, 71, a born-again Christian who runs her own law firm, is the
mother of Nominated Member of Parliament Thio Li-ann and her nephew, Dr Alan
Chin, is married to new Aware president Josie Lau.
She was the first woman dean of the Law Faculty at the then-University
of Singapore, from 1969 to 1971.
Introducing herself as a 'feminist mentor' to working women, she said
she began monitoring Aware's affairs about a year ago.
Disturbed by what she saw as signs that it was promoting lesbianism and
homosexuality, she began urging women she knew to challenge Aware's attempts to
redefine marriage and families.

First of all, Aware is not really a pro-gay organisation..
U guys can read it at here...--> http://we-are-aware.sg/myths-debunked
Thio later reveal at the press conference.
These were:
Dr Thio explained that her concern about the direction that Aware was
taking was partly prompted by a letter from a parent who was concerned that the
society was promoting a homosexual agenda.
He wrote to the Today newspaper in 2007 to ask why Aware's choice of a
movie for a charity show was Spider Lilies, about two lesbians who fall in
love.
Dr Thio said she went on to discover that in Aware's comprehensive
sexuality education programme, which is taken to schools, homosexuality is
regarded as a neutral word, not a negative word.
'I started thinking, 'Hey, parents, you better know what's happening,''
she said.
'I talked to parents. I said: You better do something about this,
otherwise your daughter will come back and say, 'Mum, I want to marry my
girlfriend.'
'Or your son will say: 'Dad, I want to marry my boyfriend.''
These parents were flabbergasted, she said, adding that such sexuality
education was taking place in the United States and Europe and was not
new.
'What is happening in society is that we are redefining marriage, we
are redefining families,' she said.
'So I'm a concerned citizen and if people are so ignorant, I think I want
to teach them.'
Pointing out that Aware's programme was already in 30 schools, she
said: 'The suggestion is that in this programme, young girls from 12 to 18 are
taught that it's okay to experiment with each other.
'And this is something which should concern parents in Singapore. Are
we going to have an entire generation of lesbians?'
Dun worry, Su Mien Auntie..There's still a bunch of man-crazy gurls in Singapore to define the true meaning of family...
The last but the least of this famous auntie in Singapire
'I find to my dismay that Aware seems to be only very interested in
lesbianism and the advancement of homosexuality, which is a man's issue,' she
said.-- Straits Times, 24 April 2009, Lawyer'skey role in Aware coup
What kind of man's issues...
Are you meaning man in general??
Or in gender wise, the male species??
I find it amazing that Thio thinks homosexuality is a man's issue.
The only way one can come to this view is if one denies that same-sex
attraction in women exists.This is usually linked to the completely outmoded idea that no sexual impulse
can possibly exist in females. Women have no agency with regard to their sexual
lives; they do not have desires of their own. They're basically a piece of meat
lying there for men to use.How can a person holding such an attitude call herself a feminist?
~ as quote by someone from yawning bread
I noe there is this big rule saying woman should be interested in man...marry a perfect guy and settle down with a few cute kids running around in the house...
Everyone noe...it's hardwire since we are a young kid...
But, one can't deny that woman can't be attract to their own kind...
We can have the rights to choose abortion...We can have the right to choose wat kind of lives to live...We can have the rights to choose our partner, regardless of what kind of gender the person is...
You can't just simple force a gurl to love someone who is not her choice...It will lead to another divorce...lead to another child getting hurt in the process..
In the end, everything will just break apart..
This is not abt homosexuality....this is about the freedom of choice a woman have...
