— in singapore? since this law has not been _ in singapore?been effectively - has not been effectively enforced, singapore has developed a very thriving and visible and vibrant lgbt scene in the last four years. but a lot of lgbt activists have long asked for this law to be struck down because while it is not actively enforced, it does mean that there is a stigma on gay people in singapore. and a lot of lgbt people i have spoken to, activists or otherwise, they have told me they have experienced personal discolouration in the workplace, from people that they meet on the street, or people who are their friends even or family. people who are their friends even orfamily. a lot people who are their friends even or family. a lot of it can be traced to this law because it sends a signal to society that lgbt people are basically second—class citizens. so i would say this is pretty momentous, doesn't signalthat momentous, doesn't signal that lgbt momentous, doesn't signalthat lgbt singaporeans are part of society as well, at the same time activists ar

we want the government to do more in singapore, everyone wants the government to do more in singapored we have already spent a lot more into years and we expect spending to continue to rise with a rapidly aging population and health care costs. i think we have to do it's right to spend more, but do so in a way that sustainable and responsible and does not leave behind a bigger hole for the next generation. >> you have to pay for all this money that has been spent, as you point out, it probably rightly needs to be spent delivering services, and that brings us back to the rich in inequality, a subject on which you probably have made more fuss than other politicians about. so the question for you is, are you planning to introduce normal -- new forms of wealth taxes, like on the dividends of capital gains? lexus must be bloomberg's favorite question for me? >> it's one of our any questions. quakes you must've asked me this three or four times already. >> we suspect you are. >> we always look at updating our system. it's a system that's fair, that's progressive, and it's a system that must

so what does this move by singapore? what does it sing, or how does it fit in to church to this pro progression if you will, knowing that the criminalization is a critical, maybe not a 1st step necessarily. i mean, you can have some recognition actually of rights even without the commercialization, but it is an incredibly important step, even in a situation like singapore where people weren't necessarily arrested for them. you know, for committing a crime. it still has a very chilling effect on people's lives and it's hard to move beyond and secure, you know, full equal rights and non discrimination in schools of workplace as even in families. if you live under this kind of colonial, you're a law. so i think of course, it's not very unfortunate that the singaporean prime minister announced that he wants to impose a ban on same sex marriage even though marriage wouldn't necessarily been sort of the next legal step that people would absolutely be asking for. of course, is a bad sign to already start to say, well, you know,

and of course now we have the announcement in singapore from yesterday. so there is a slow movement towards the criminalization. not everywhere. there's also an ongoing backlash in some places, but overwhelmingly, you know, we see countries one by one in the slow sort of a slow trickle decriminalize. and i have to say that none of this ever comes without community organ. i saying that we're organizations and activists are pushing for this change and creating and building a change in societal attitudes. also, you think courts strategically similar to what was happening in singapore. there have been court cases that did not decriminalize in that case, but that had been building towards this announcement to decriminalize in singapore . and i think that knowing that the active is that goes into it. it's not something that happens suddenly. no one is sort of, i think, surprised when, if you were falling these issues, you're not surprised when something like this happens. because you had seen the years and decades of active is that has gone into creating that c

it's ”pm in london and 6am here in singapore, where the country's prime minister has said singapore willts ban on sex between men, but will take steps to defend the institution of marriage as a union between a man and a woman. prime minister lee hsein loong said singaporean society was becoming more accepting of gay people, and the british colonial—era law was out of date. the legal ban on sex between men, while not enforced, has long been criticised by lgbt activists — although many more conservative citizens still support it. the government will repeal the section and decriminalise sex between men. i believe this is the right thing to do, and something that most singaporeans will now accept. well, to discuss this further, i'm nowjoined by bryan choong from 0ogachaga, a singaporean lgbtq community organisation. he has been involved in the campaign to change singapore's legislation on gay rights for 17 years. i have to say, 17 years, it is a long time coming. you have been involved in this campaign, how does this moment feel for you? it is involved in this campaign, how does this moment

is this the end of the battle for lgbt rights in singapore?en a long journey. 377a has caused a lot of harm to a community over the years. it's the most visible sign of discrimination, but it's not the only form of discrimination. discrimination against lgbt singaporeans didn't start with 377a, and it won't end with 377a. a lot of work needs to be done, and a lot of healing needs to be done. what the law has done is it's made gay singaporeans notjust fear the consequences of the law, but fear being themselves, with intimacy in the safe spaces where they should be able to express themselves. and now, the time for that healing has begun. it's going to be a long way more. just briefly, this law wasn't really enforced, was it necessary to get rid of it? it was necessary, because the effect of the law was discrimination. it was a clear signal of state sanctioned discrimination against a portion of the citizenry who were unequal before the law. that manifested itself in every way imaginable, bullying in schools, discrimination in the workplace, disc

and it's that way for a reason. singapore 5 and a half 1000000 people. but surprisingly few cars, 89 percent of people in the southeast, asian island nation, do not own a vehicle. they prefer public transportation depending on the time of day and where you're going. tickets are between $65.00 us cent and a $1.50. think a port does half wide multi lane roads, but ever since 2018 has been putting the brakes on cars, new ones can only be registered when an old one is taken off the streets to be allowed a car, cynthia on needed to get what's called a certificate of entitlement. this prerequisite for a registration costs between $55.00 and $78000.00. and this is valid for 10 years. oh it's definitely not fair because ah, in order that you can own a car, you need to pay for that piece of paper. but that is the government's way to cope ah, from having less kos in singapore. suit your own words as a freelancer and says she needs a car to get to her clients efficiently. she's annoyed about the high cost of the privilege. not only the certificate sets her back car

how are singapore in reacting to this announcement? i think singapore, in general, in general, our goal find this to be controversial because what people do in their own bedrooms, something which is private and it doesn't cause any harm to bite. so by and large singapore, in, within 5 to be controversial. so okay, let's get down to the bottom. the sex between men is being de criminalized in singapore. but it turns out that the government is planning to amend the constitution to ensure that same sex marriage will never be allowed. why this massive counter move? yes, so this is where it's become very content just because the church, the religious lobby is very strong thing for the bite wings christians and were initially against the repealed because they were afraid that it would be 2 more changes. and then what particularly concerned about the definition of marriage changing and that. ready might start mounting challenges to change the definition of marriage. so in debit to appease the religious licensing for the government has decided
