K Shanmugam on engaging different groups on Section 377A of Penal Code
The vast majority of Singaporeans are of the view that heterosexual marriage between a man and a woman must remain the bedrock of society. On the other hand, many Singaporeans, including some of those who believe in the traditional family structure, feel that private consensual sex between men should not be criminalised. The Government has been, and will be, speaking with diverse groups of Singaporeans to better understand their viewpoints on Section 377A of the Penal Code. Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam said this in reply to an MP's question in Parliament on Monday (Apr 4). He said the Government will consider the various views carefully and assess the best way forward.
