by Wayang Party - Dr Ng Eng Hen’s revised approach to sex education in schools fair and balanced

agreed completely with Fang Zhi Yuan that “Instead of feeling aggrieved, Dana should get MOE’s hint and embark on a PR campaign to gain the public’s trust and confidence for its CSE. I believe that the majority of Singaporeans will be able to judge for themselves”. there is no need for AWARE or Dana Lam to be defensive. AWARE has done a great job last 24 years for women and Singapore. It is truely “grossly unfair that the programme has been so misrepresented to the public”..as the quoted text is only in the instructors’ guide and like 1.5 minutes in a 3 hrs session…nevertheless it does not mean AWARE should make the mistake of not LISTENING to the genuine concerns of parents…there is nothing wrong to review and improve on the CSE based on public’s feedback, objective scientific information and research..AWARE and society in general will benefit by focusing on the end results - the teenage girls and their family AWARE is helping - than worry too much over the endless bitching…

I do not see MOE and the government as capitulating to public pressure. The government has been unequivocal and never clearer on its stand on this issue both during the AWARE saga playout and now strongly spoken by DPM Wong Kan Seng and Minister Ng Eng Hen. Those who think they can pressurise the government can continue to feel happy about themselves as long as it does not culminate in actions that harm the rest of society…many of the passionate supporters of AWARE OG to remove the former new exco are also concerned parents and there is no reason for MOE or AWARE to disregard their views or genuine concerns if any on CSE but to address such concerns logically and rationally…

as the writer of the article said - “I believe that the majority of Singaporeans will be able to judge for themselves”. The CSE is just a red herring by a misguided group who are as one comment noted “religiously inspired but morally and ethically challenged”....supported by a senior pastor who cannot differentiate between truths and lies. and the secular community and AWARE supporters have risen to put them back where they belong…
