God Saves Aware
This is a public group to garner supports for the new EXCO of Aware.
For those of you who are not plugged in to what has been happening in Singapore in the last 1 month (esp my overseas friends), please uphold us in prayer as we wage a spiritual and moral battle for the control of a secular organisation that has been used by the liberals and gays to fight for homosexual rights in Singapore .
This group is known as AWARE (Association of Women for Action and Research) and it is the leading women’s organisation in Singapore and their views are seriously taken by the government in policy implementation.
In the last few years, this organisation has deviated from its original noble ideals of fighting against discrimination against women in education and workplace and instead been taking up arms to decriminalise the homosexual act, promoting homosexual ideas thru their 'sex education' programs, sponsoring talks and the screening of a movie that promotes the homosexual lifestyle as 'normal'.
At the association's AGM about 3 weeks ago, a group of valiant women decided that 'enough is enough' and they decided to vote in people whom they knew stood for pro-family values and godly principles.
However, this obviously has not gone down well with the 'old guard' who accused the new EXCO of being anti-gay and using religion to advance their cause.
The old guard has powerful connections with the press (one of them was the former editor of Business Times) and I believe 3 of them are ex and present NMPs (nominated Members of Parliment).
The Straits Times in particular have 'demonised' the new EXCO and have overtly been on the side of the old guard. We know that many of the senior editors of Straits Times are either gay or very liberal.
For those of you still standing on the sideline and think this is just a cat fight between 2 camps of 'power-hungry' women, let me tell you that this is the furthest from the truth.
I know one of the new EXCO members personally (some of you do as well) and I can say for a fact that none of these women wanted to have their privacy lost, their families subjected to death threats, receive hate mails and sms-es, be harassed and misquoted by the press and media…..if not for a burning conviction that they are standing for the truth and holding back the tide of wickedness from sweeping our nation.
These women want to bring the organisation back to its original ideals of fighting for the rights of all women. This has nothing to do with religion.
Do not let the biased media blind your eyes to the truth of the matter. If you are a Singapore an woman or PR, I urge you to walk the talk. Sign up for membership (go to http://www.aware.org.sg/ for online registration) and come for the EGM this Saturday (2 May 2009) to vote against the 'no-confidence' motion of the old guard. Membership is at $40 per year and if you are a student below 25, it is just $5.
I have been told that at least over 550 of the OTHER camp has already signed up to vote. We are the majority, not the minority, but by our apathy, we let the minority win the battle.
To quote Edmund Burke, "ALL IT TAKES FOR EVIL TO TRIUMPH IS FOR GOOD PEOPLE TO DO NOTHING".
God bless you all!
