Is SlutWalk Singapore about the right of women to dress provocatively?

So, I got featured on TODAYonline video about @SlutWalkSG



This is like kinda backdated for the blog cause I was (as usual) busy. So I was interviewed about what I think about SlutWalk.

For those who are not too sure what SlutWalk is you can check it out over WikiPedia or just Google it.

For me, I am not too sure how much was understood(or misunderstood) over the video cause I have to stress that video interview is no joke especially on such a topic where the topic itself is a controversy.

First of all, I am with the organizer on the point that blaming the victim is not right cause there are people who dress very normal but still gets rape. Thus, it is definitely not the victim's fault that they got raped.

That being said, I am also not 100% with the whole idea of Slut Walk. The very first thing I am not that comfortable with itself is the name. No doubt the name Slut Walk creates a lot of attention but end of the day it is not the attention that we want but it's the education that we are trying to give here at the event. We are trying to get to the point that getting raped is not the victims fault and not that the victims are slut. Where else using the word Slut gives it a feeling like "I do not care if I dress like a slut, it is still your fault to rape me." or something along the line. Especially when we have a lot of ignorant people who do not read up more but jump to conclusion. I felt that if this is how it is being run, it might do more harm than help to the victims. It gives "public" the feeling that you guys just want to be different and be a hipster and go against the flow.

On the other hand, I do not think a protest really help either. Like I mention, it is something that people has very strong belief towards and a protest will not help cause by protesting, some people will just find that you guys are just creating trouble. It's just like a case in the X-men where protesting to help the mutants will just get the public hate the mutants more. (Not too sure if this is even a good analogy.)

Although I am saying that it might not help but I am not saying that the victims or the supporters should be sitting ducks. I did not manage to drop by at SlutWalk Singapore event itself but from the pictures I thought it is a very good way of spreading the word and showing support. Creating a buzz through such event ain't all bad but I just thought it might be a little better if they change a name? (I think I said that keeping the name is a good way of affiliating to the main event during the interview but 2nd thought, i change my mind. :x) I think something like PinkDot is a very nice movement, very subtle but yet strong in it's message. We do not see Pinkdot calling themselves GayWalk or something no?

To sum it up, what I am saying is that, yes, we should "fight" for this cause but we do not need to go all out head on with the opposition. No?

Is it "Wrong" to get pregnant at the age of 15?

Straight to the point : As seen on STOMP. (Nope, I'm not a Stupid Stomper but I saw this via Twitter.)


I thought this is an interesting talking point for the blog. As usual, many funny comments on stomp and to sum it up there are a few points being brought up. 

1. She is underage and considered a minor. (Singapore law, under 16 sex is against the law)
2. Is there a need to put it on facebook since you are already breaking the law?
3. Is she doing this to seek attention?
4. Friends on facebook is asking her to keep the baby, is that "right or wrong". 


One thing as a time, like I always say, sex is good, underage sex is against the law(which makes it exciting for some - i guess) and getting caught for it is not joke. I guess it's a context issue cause some people will debate that "your grandmother from China" gave birth even at a younger age but I suppose it's a different thing since we are in Singapore and not China. I still recommend people to keep it till time is "right". No, I am not asking you to be a virgin until you get married. In fact I promote premarital sex. I suppose it's kinda of common for teenagers to have sex at such a age over at the states as well? I suppose you can do it after all but just do not get caught/pregnant. :x 

Putting the status on facebook is a little too much I guess? Than again, facebook is where your friends are and if all she want is to release the stress I think it is okay. On top of commenting about this as in she is a attention seeker, I also see how stress herself is going through all these shit. age of 15 and being a mum is no joke. I am not even surprise that her action after knowing this does not belongs to her mind anymore. So i suppose people can cut her some slack on her action on facebook. 

So the golden Question, to keep or not to keep. It is a life, no doubt. If you kill it, it is a life you are wasting but think again, if you force your way through and let this baby live on, force a marriage and get divorce there after, it is 3 lives we are wasting and haunting. Call me negative, I call myself practical, this is common and I have seen it myself and not just once but rather quite a few times around me. "Shotgun" marriage can hardly last and people who are in bad situation of a marriage who uses a child to hold the marriage did not work out half the time either. Than again, there is always two sides of the coin and there are always multiple outcome on whichever path she is taking. I just wish her good luck on her choice.

Anyway, if you are interested in the full article : link


Mr.Smith, bang bang is good, baby baby at 15 is NO good.

Simei ITE Video

So according to source, Simei ITE is trending on Twitter because of this Video, should be suitable for work.

Don't ask me what they doing but obviously already wrong in the first place cause they did not video it properly so that I know what is happening. Disappointed.

No, I'm kidding, what I meant is obviously it is not right cause there is a male and a female in the same cubicle. Regardless of what they are doing it is already wrong.

I wonder what is going to happen to them in school. The friends are so getting it. I mean getting into trouble, not "IT" as in it.

Mr.Smith, sex in toilet can be pretty exciting, but please don't do it when your toilet is that open and you are in school uniform or underage. Wait, the school uniform part actually sounded quite good. :p

Are Singaporeans Ready to get Sexcited ?

So according to online source, in the year 2010 Singaporean have been spotted in different "sex" related crimes.

Such as boarding bus naked, buying coffee naked, uploading sex videos and even the more traditional uploading nude pictures. I seriously don't get how nudity is linked with sex other than most of the time you get naked before having sex.

From asiaone,

Psychiatrist Ken Ung, who has treated many cases referred to him by the courts, told the press that many were either exhibitionists or attention seekers.

"Exhibitionism is a sexual disorder where the exhibitionists get a sexual thrill from the look of shock and horror on their victims' faces,

Others were mentally troubled, while some over-exuberant revellers did it because of alcohol or a bet with a friend."

Seriously, Why is nudity considered a sexual disorder? What is wrong with feeling comfortable in your own skin and feeling free? What makes him right and the exhibitionist wrong? Just because he is some DR. or PHD dude? Or is it because nudity is NOT socially accepted in Singapore?

So what is the debate about not allowing Singapore to be all sexcited? We have no adult video channel, we have no official adult magazine. ( FHM and what not are NOT adult magazines. ) We do not have nude beaches, we have no proper strip clubs and we do not have girl gone wild.com.sg .. Are Singaporean not socially responsible enough? Or is it because Singaporean are too conservative due to the fact that majority of us Singaporeans are made up by Chinese(Eastern Culture). So who is to say we are ready to meet nudity and adult material ? If you ask me, I say we have to take this step sooner or later.

Here's a video from Naked News where Lily Kwan meets some happy naked people. (NSFW)

Aside from these, another stats on the article : " 18% of Singaporean women initiate sex - a higher proportion than anywhere else in Asia, reported a TIME survey." Seriously how did they get this number from and what does this show?

Anyway read the full article here.

It's FREEDOM !
