hilarious thread, shows how little these posters know about the current saga.
probably reinforces stereotypes of the long-haired, ignorant musician who can recite deep purple's discography backwards in 6 different languages but don't know who Stalin is.
I figured someone will come and bring out this topic back to life sooner or later. Sheesh, can we just let it die?
It's not that we know little about the current saga. May I challenge you now, to tell me EVERYTHING you know about this saga? From exactly the first time the new exco had been voted in all the way to last night's meeting?
I think most of us prefer to just ignore it. To me, the whole saga had not been about "championing women's rights" at all, neither has it been an issue of "gay/lesbians stuff, etc.". It has been a saga of power struggle.
Trace back to the history. Aware was formed as an organisation to champion women's rights and ensure there is little gender discrimination in Singapore. I won't say no gender discrimination because there will always be discrimination and all of us are guilty.
But that's besides the point.
The whole agenda of Aware, from the first day it was created, was to ensure that women's rights were as equal as possible to the men's and ensure there is as little gender discrimination as possible.
Now why do I call this a mere "power-play"? Because, instead of letting the new exco run the show and let them show what they can do, the old exco have been trying to harass the new exco. Accusations, arguments, fly faster and deadlier than American nuclear missles. Practically, everyday the papers report something about Aware, and an old exco has to chip in something to put more salt on the wounds.
Its like, oh for crying out loud, what exactly is wrong here? I find that the antics of the old exco have nothing but an attempt (quite succesful as of last night) to seize back control of the organisation.
Considering last night's meeting was barely done in a proper fashion, sometimes I wonder what exactly is Aware up to.
I would just like the new old exco to please settle this matter, and get back to work. There are more important, pressing issues then bickering about minor minor things
