MPS IN ATTENDANCE

Earlier this week, Protect Singapore – which describes itself as a group that aims to protect the values of marriage, family, children and conscience – released a scorecard grading politicians based on their stances towards LGBTQ issues.

The scorecard is to “help you evaluate whether your MP supports your values”, said the group in a Facebook post on Monday. Among the grading criteria includes never attending Pink Dot.

When asked about the scorecard, PAP MP for Ang Mo Kio Group Representation Constituency (GRC) Darryl David questioned its purpose.

“To rank MPs on their stances on anything? I mean, when you start doing that, then I guess ultimately, what is the aim? What are you trying to show?” he said.

He added that he was attending Pink Dot as he “welcomes diversity”, having worked with people from “different backgrounds, different lifestyles, different preferences … different ways of living”.

Besides Mr Chua and Mr David, PAP MPs Carrie Tan and Derrick Goh of Nee Soon GRC were also in attendance.
