[FONT=&amp]UPDATED: 2:39 PM, MAY 14, 2017[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]SINGAPORE — Only Singaporeans and Permanent Residents (PRs) will be allowed to attend the annual Pink Dot gathering, to be held at Hong Lim Park, event organisers said on Sunday (May 14).

In a Facebook note on Sunday morning, Pink Dot's organisers said they had received a reminder from the Police that the changes in the law meant that it "no longer distinguishes between participants and observers, and regards anyone who turns up to the Speakers’ Corner in support of an event to be part of an assembly."

[FONT=&amp]
The organisers added that they "have no choice but to adhere to this regulation, as organisers and foreigners caught flouting this rule are liable to be prosecuted".

Individuals caught illegally participating in Speakers' Corner events can face a fine of up to S$3,000 for their first offence and up to S$5,000 if found to be repeat offenders.

If found guilty, organisers could face a fine not exceeding S$10,000 or a jail term not exceeding six months or both.

Pink Dot is an annual event, held in support of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community. It will be held on July 1 this year.

The new regulations also mean that from this year, foreign companies cannot sponsor the event.

In previous Pink Dot events, foreigners were allowed to assemble at Hong Lim Park but not to participate. They were, however, able to observe from the sidelines.

Past Pink Dot gatherings also saw a stream of multinational companies, such as Google and Barclays bank, sponsoring the event.

With the new rules, organisers say that they "will have to ensure that anyone who is assembling at Hong Lim Park for Pink Dot 2017 is the owner of either a pink or blue identity card", but did not say more on how this would be done.

The organisers added that they will be live-streaming the event on social media and providing updates for those who are not allowed to attend.

Acknowledging that the new law "directly impacts and separates individuals with partners, friends and family who might not be Singapore Citizens or PRs", the organisers said "this was a decision that was taken out of our hands" and that they were "just as upset by this".

"Pink Dot has been honoured by the strong support from friends from around the world who have unfailingly attended our events over the years, observing as their Singaporean friends make a stand for inclusion, diversity and the Freedom to Love," they said.[/FONT]

In other words no Ang mohs allowed. They will have to find their Asian toyboys discretely like they did before. :(

MNCs have budgets to address discriminatory practices across societies that they are present. Unfortunately the budget has been misused for celebratory events and merry making. Corporate leaders who have been nominated by their Board or their Management Teams to lead and provided with the budget tend to take a backseat and let a few run the programme for a select few as it not their day job but a social task.

The Ang Mohs are PRs here so they are allowed. Remember any idiot with educational cert and a passport is likely to be given PR. Gone is the budget.

In previous years, LGBT's working in MNCs here realised that their companies have budget to fund programmes to address discriminatory practices. The budget was abused to fund the pink dot festivities. The largest sponsors are MNCs until the foreign funding ban kicked in.

Whoa: Samsung Is Responsible for 20% (!?) of South Korea's Economy

Talk about a company town...

We often bemoan the influence of big business here in the United States. And sure, a few of our companies are monsters (I'm speaking strictly about size). But while the likes of Walmart -- $444 billion in worldwide sales -- might be the corporate equivalent of a giant Amazonian catfish, at least they're swimming around our $15 trillion economy.

In South Korea, it's apparently a different story. Samsung alone is responsible for 20 percent of the country's $1.1 trillion economy. For reference, government spending there also makes up about 20 percent of GDP. Here in the U.S., the federal budget makes up about a quarter.*

Now, when most Americans think of Samsung, we picture the electronics company currently locked in a cage match with Apple over smart phone patents. But the Samsung Group, as the mother conglomerate is known, is a sprawling network of some 80 subsidiaries that produced about $237 billion in sales last year. Samsung Electronics is the crown jewel, and the country's biggest individual company. But the empire also includes manufacturers that crank out armored vehicles, oil tankers, and appliances, as well as an insurance company. It plays such an outsized role in the nation's economic life that, according to Bloomberg Businessweek, South Korea is referred to in some circles as "The Republic of Samsung."

South Koreans cram for dream jobs at Samsung

In a cram school in the South Korean port city of Busan, 70 college students packed into a classroom, chanting "We can do it!" as they studied for an exam they hope will guarantee them a job for life with Samsung Group.

The promise of Samsung, whose sprawling business empire spans consumer electronics to ships, offers not only a good salary and benefits but also holds the key to a good marriage in this Asian country where Confucian traditions run deep.

The twice-a-year recruitment rounds by the "chaebol", conglomerates such as Samsung and Hyundai, have spawned a cottage industry worth millions of dollars as young Koreans do what they have done from the age of 5 - cram to get ahead.

"I came here at 10 this morning and will be preparing for the interview until 8 p.m.," said 25-year-old Shin Seong-hwan, whose father is a Samsung employee near Busan.

Shin has already passed the company's aptitude test and now faces grueling interviews that end late in November.

In its current recruitment round, Samsung will hire 5,500 young people from more than 100,000 applicants, adding to the pressure cooker environment.

"Jobs at conglomerates can save face for you and your parents," said Hur Jai-joon, a senior researcher at the Korea Labor Institute, a government-funded research body.
