In this short segment, I have a message for gay students in Singapore. This is the message I wished someone had given to me when I was a lonely gay teen in school.

Here, the brave audience attending this talk are invited to ask any questions. The first is probably the most immediate: how can I take down the blog so quickly? And what really happened at MOE (Ministry Of Education) during the controversy?

Russell Heng, an inspiring playwright and pioneer, asked an unexpected but really tough question: how I felt with Fong Swee Suan as my father. Fong Swee Suan was one of the key characters, along with Lim Chin Siong, in the infamous Hock Lee bus riot.

Indignation talk Part 5 & 6 - these are the best bits!


After coming out, I see Singapore in a whole new light. Suddenly, the possibility that Singapore can become a nation whose culture and technology contribute to the whole wide world becomes real!

This part of the speech talks about my rebirth as a comic artist. Removed from my closet, I am now able to create fearlessly, and strive to be the best person I can be.

Why did I come out? Videos part 1 to 4 on Youtube

Click here: Youtube video Part 1

Why did I come out? Due to societal pressures, gay men and women learn to keep their orientation hidden for years and decades. I carried that burden with me for almost 3 decades, but at some point, I decided it is not a cross I wish to carry for the rest of my life.

There are many people I can thank for helping me reach my decision to come out. Here are some of the reasons (apologies to Rev Ouyong Wenfeng - I'd neglected to mention his contributions during the speech).

How did I come out? Some of you may have seen bits and snippets of the newspaper coverage in September 2007, but here's the details of what happened days before I put up my coming out blog.

What happened after I posted the blog? The next few days were stormy and the pressure was tremendous. I could talk about it more objectively now.

The subsequent parts will be out soon. I hope these videos will be a positive contribution in your lives. Thanks for viewing them.
