Perhaps JL and team already know that there is a likely chance that they will lose at EGM…thus just spent lar, why leave any ammo behind for the old guard…. burn the bridge during withdrawal …

Also if JL and team still in power after EGM they may be able to garner contribution from the rich COOS members to fund their cause.

Lim Wee Lim said that the 120k collected gave AWARE a bonus 30k they did not have before.

still 90k was NEEDLESSLY wasted by the Josie Lau EX-exco, does this kind of logic remind you of some other charity CEO? raise a couple of million dollars, whats a 600k peanut in his own pocket.

if I’m not wrong, lim wee lim is somehow related to thio SM… (family member), read it somewhere else yesterday

Tan Ah Beng: The funny thing is someone from the COOS actually stood out said that the amount is covered by the sudden increase of membership. *slap forehead*

Cannot believe their mentality. Such money can be put into better use.

Fargoal: Nobody is ignoring the 760+ who voted in favour and the thousands who didn’t attend but were in favour. But is Aware a suitable common ground for such discussion? Aware is a secular organisation. It has always been neutral on LGBT issue. It cannot be Pro or Anti LGBT.

Figs: I wouldn’t suggest creating another association to promote Anti-LGBT. If a group of people are allowed to set up an association to promote Anti-LGBT, what is stopping the other camp from setting up an association to promote LGBT?

The best is to leave the choice and decision to everyone.

agree that we simply shouldn’t ignore the 700 views and perhaps many others who are at home and didn’t come forth to speak their minds. Maybe then, I suggest, set up another organization to fight for what you believe in. I believe Josie and gang are capable enough to do just that, they are strong women too.

Come on, when over 700 people voted in favour of the new Exco, they constitute a segment of society whose views (anti-LGBT or otherwise) cannot simply be ignored.

I hope AWARE will continue to listen to the many voices in society, especially when there are differences in views.
