then that as an"educational institute with very diverse stakeholder groups", it was important for it to"remain sensitive to the different interests of our stakeholders".said he was removed from the speakers' list of a TEDxYouth@SingaporePolytechnic event after he refused to edit a script that contained LGBTQ themes.
“It is not clear whether these decisions were motivated by these broader national policy concerns rather than any personal views,” he said. Ms Indranee clarified that such decisions should not be made “on the basis of personal views”, because “different individuals may have very different personal views”.

“It depends on your audience, some audiences may well be able to be much more accommodating, others may feel a little uncomfortable so the institutions will have to take that call.”
So only those with Geology departments can do this then?
be careful tho .. or have you NOT seen the human right abuses via LGBTQ+ (esp with each add of the alphabet) when given 'power' there goes your population growth as well as dividing diversity these grps bring.
Singapore has a leadership potential when it comes to tollerance towards the LGBTQ community in the region, so instead of 'playing it safe' you guys need to LEARN to have some balls and DO SOMETHING and stand up for Human Rights. Do the right thing!
