First we allow gambling into Singapore and now we consider legalising Homosexual practice. What next? Gays do not have to do NS?Legalise the right to bear arms?
Legalise drugs? Holland has done this.
Legalise incest? Well if the world is ok Singapore is ok as well?
Legalise bestiality?
Legalise underage sex?....
I believe if we allow the interests and rights of individuals or special groups to be more important than the community as a whole, Singapore will suffer and not remain as the great country which MM Lee and his team built from scratch with their sweat and blood.
