Singapore: Pink Dot 2013 video brings it ''Home''

Singapore: Pink Dot 2013 video brings it ''Home''

by News Editor

Set to the heartwarming lyrics of one of Singapore's most recognisable songs, "Home", written by well-known Singaporean singer-songwriter Dick Lee, the video touches on issues faced by LGBT people in Singapore, including love, family acceptance, transphobia and personal loss.

It's always a bit suspect when a politician "evolves" his/her thinking on an issue. Regardless, it's welcome however it comes when it's a change from bigotry against those different from ourselves to more awareness and acceptance that differences are not equivalent to being less deserving of equal rights and protections. So kudos for evolving out of ignorance (on this particular position), Mr. Rudd.

wow.. that is a beautiful touching video. Congrats.

He done a lot to educate people about H.I.V. and Aids. Not many like him around R.I.P.

with gay members within his own family, I am not surprised that he has made these comments now - better for him to make his personal position clear to everyone before the gay person within his family becomes known to the public - it would be the height of hypocrisy if he had waited for it to become public knowledge

Best wishes and hope to you all. Malaysia is not well known in it's government to be forward thinking, or being very intellectual at all. I noticed in the last election how backward the Prime Minister, or head thief was, and amazingly how backward his wife was. I understand that many of the women in that government need their own train cars, to feel safe from the men who are favored by the government. Let's be honest, who would touch women looking like those who are favored by the government? While the corrupt Prime Minister and his frighteningly money holding ugly cow of a wife (these are the scary looking women who need those cars by the way) try to steal and destroy all that is good in that beautiful country. Maybe this is harsh, but I find it true. Kindness, good work, and forward thinking will come in time. But it is a battle that will go on by those who are brave and courageous. Such things as what we have here. To challenge the corrupt government and to show that there can be more women and men then those they see in their tiny prism of sight. Your small flame of protest will be a beacon of hope to the world. This will come to pass in time, but ergo, we understandably see it will take time. Time is what you have my friends, and what that government does not. The words of the civil rights activist Fredrick Douglas come to mind as I think of this. When asked as an old man by a young follower about what he should do in his life to further his cause. Douglas replied "Agitate, agitate, agitate." Advice that fits so well to you all right now. Remember the more you agitate, the more you will shake up that fragile mind set and corrupt government. All my best wishes to yours and our cause.

why not in Indonesia? yes.. religion need to be separated by state state should believe in God as perfect Religion just believe that God had alive and talk to people at past ( that we never Known that truth), Then God become disable: Their God just able to watch and hear, but has no ability to talk/speak. Yes..Their God is disable or may be certain Religion community want to shut Up God. But state should be let God to be perfect always.

Kudos that he is able to put his personal convictions aside and be objective in his approach - which is what many on both sides of the arguement generally fail to do.

Wo...this is great! One small step for the transgender community, one giant step for Malaysia. Hats off to you guys and girls!

Malaysia shld emphasize on equal rights to everybody irregardless for who they r.. Majority wld nt accept as it is a Muslim country, but do 'they' choose to b 'special'...?

They want to hear that gay is better than straight so,its time for you gay to be better than straight, we should not insist too much.. we are not prophet who ask too much God is alive, Holy book just past and showing God never talked to people anymore that why constitution and holy books never changes because it is against God in half. so, Mr Rudd is not wrong, He only have darkness about same sex marriage, it mean that you are gay should show to the world that we are better. we can show..just find people to strengthen our community

So glad to live in a country where all these fights are basically behind us. Good luck to all who are still fighting the battles. And I agree the Korean video is a great stand by courageous and supportive people.

Gimmick. I can't see what is the big new advantage. They are trying to re-invent the wheel. My issue with condoms is the difficulty of trying to open them with your teeth while your fingers are full of lube. They should design an easy to open condom pack with just two fingers.

I believe the correct term is survey, rather than census. The usage of census is not a sampling of a group, but rather a collection of specific info from an entire group or count of an entire group ( ie. Population census). And I'd point out that online survey will have significantly lower validity than random survey results. What I'm most curious about is what "stereotypes" are being referred to that said data will somehow displace... Yeah, I know; I'm a picky little prick, but somebody has to be...

Would love to visit this place, since it seems like it would definitely give me a feel of 'space'. Looks like the natural light is well shone throughout the interiors.

Dear Evianelle, Many thanks for setting an example of how not to give unprompted unsolicited unsusbtantiated opinions about things on a public forum where people are invited to give opinions on whatever they wish. Hardly imposing my opinion on others if expressing myself somewhere where you are at liberty to do exactly the same. Seems cowardly and hypocritical to enjoy having somewhere to express your opinions yet to complain when others opinions are divergent from yours. What is there to like about Titanic? Making a condescending demeaning pathetically patronising sentimental sensation trivialising a tragedy as a backdrop to a predictable fictitious cloying romance between Jack and Rose. What does it reveal about you that you found it appealing? Please refrain from education, law or politics as a profession- you'd only cause yourself embarrassment as well as causing more problems to those that otherwise you would be meant to be helping. Of course I mean it all in a caring way, exactly as your feedback was, you've given me the biggest laugh all evening, Thanks so much!

I would appreciate it if I knew that waste water was properly treated, that it used no electric power other than what it generated by itself, and that prices were reasonable and accessible to anyone. Lovely building, have to appreciate it, but in a national park? Contradictions, contradictions. How very contemporary China it is!

Dear hsnikeram, the film must have left a huge impact on your life if you feel compelled to continue talking trash about it so as to dissuade others from wasting their time. Well thank you very much for your feedback, but really, checking back once so every often to monitor other people's views on the film depict a very pathetic obsession over the film. It's touching that you have opinions, but please don't go imposing them on others. Titanic was brilliant. Tsk.

dear vehandojo, this film has neither style or substance, a few nice costumes and scenery, nothing else, I would have prefferred to have had a migraine or even diarrhea for the 2 hours this film took than ever seeing it at all.

Coffee is serious business, yes. But this is not a serious story. What are the coffee beans? How's the roasting? What sort of machines they use? What kinds of brewing methods? Where do they get the single origins from? How are their house blend(s)? Are they doing fair trade with the farmers? Geeez. Do your homework.

What was Chang Chen doing in "The Grandmasters"? What's with all those close-ups and minimum wide, cover shots? What's with all those slow talks? I get "In the Mood for Love", "Ashes of Time", "Days of Being Wild", and other classic WKW's. But this is style over substance at best. It's painful to endure this script-less presentation that has no structure in storytelling at all.

@ lpm: you liked Warhorse? You're being sarcastic. Pitiful pathetic sentimental inatngible unfeasible drivel with no credibility & even worse than Titanic Here's hoping Pedro Almodovar will make yet another masterpiece soon. Happy Chinese New Year Valentine's Day this year also Wealth God Day in Chinese Calendar Wish you lots of Love & Great Wealth.
2013-02-13 18:08 @ The Grandmaster...
i have watched it. And i find it a very touching movie. Handsome and rich, but emotionally lonely. So sad!
2013-02-11 06:17 @ Shame...
I did not see "The Grandmaster" yet, but if you consider "Warhorse" as a worst film, then I better run to see "The Grandmaster". "Warhorse" for me was one of the best movies of the last few years. And Wong Kar-wai did not disappoint me with his works so far... BTW, he is apointed as a Jury-President of the Berlin Film Festival 2013.
2013-02-10 19:08 @ The Grandmaster...
this is perhaps the worst film I have ever seen in my life after Warhorse. Affected contrived trite trivial nonsensical Stylised postured hyperbolising about irrrelevencies with no redeeeming qualities and nothing to inspire the audience's curiosity or interest. All the characters taking themselves far too seriously for no apparent purpose or reason, & certain historical facts- Ip Man having been a lifelong Opium addict completely ignored in this film. Nice costumes and sets, nothing else. The rest of the audience members in the cinema at the time were joking about how they'd like to get their money back, and how this film is would only be good, to cure constipation or to induce vomiting. I'm really glad I saw this film so I can spare everybody else the indignity of doing so. So sad I'll never get these 2 or so hours back which may well have been better spent asleep or drunk.

A very difficult book to translate to film. Ang Lee of course never shies way from a challenge, but here he has had to make compromises. So the seemingly faux spirituality giving way to the wonder of CGI. And yet it has a 'spiritual' message. I agree entirely with Vernon's comment of the 'oppositional reading' in the review. Hats off to Suraj Sharma though. The guy's never acted in his life. Here he must have emoted for the camera against a green screen - thanks to all the CGI. An entirely convincing, nuanced performance - or is all that just another tribute to the great Ang Lee. My movie of the year.

I like the design, but this is a 'space' not a house and definitely NOT a home. It is just a space to do things in. I think when a person comes 'home' from work, that is what they want, a home.. not a space to sit in and wait for the next event to happen in their life.
