Ptader... i'd heard this claim time and again but no source can confirm. Urban legend or true? Cos they dont all come in the wrist flicking variety
It is indeed true but the policy was changed. Wooden revealed the changed policy to the 147th Prostitute Press in 2003:
"... “In the past, if we know you’re gay, we would not employ you. But we just changed this quietly.”
Now, the government will employ gay Singaporeans in “certain positions”, even sensitive ones,
provided that these civil servants openly declare their sexual orientation...." Wooden, 147th Prostitute Press, 04 July 2003
