It’s immoral!” – FCBC Senior Pastor Nina Khong denounces Lee Hsien Yang’s attendance at Pink Dot
Rev Nina Khong expressed her dissatisfaction with Mr Lee. She wrote: "What’s immoral remains immoral. Doesn’t matter who did it!"
Rev (Dr) Nina Khong, one of the senior pastors of Faith Community Baptist Church (FCBC), has criticised Lee Hsien Yang’s recent appearance at Pink Dot, with his family.
Mr Lee and his wife Lee Suet Fern accompanied their son and his husband to the 11th annual Pink Dot gathering, that was held last Saturday (29 June). Photos of the family’s appearance at the lesbian, gay, transgender and transsexual (LGBT) pride event quickly drew attention and went viral online.
Mr Lee’s presence at the event was notable for a number of reasons – first, because he is the son of Singapore’s founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and younger brother of current Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who recently said that Section 377A – a law that criminalises gay sex – will not be repealed in Singapore anytime soon.
Additionally, this was the first time Mr and Mrs Lee had attended such an event in Singapore.
As netizens widely shared photos of the Lees at Pink Dot on social media, Facebook user Tobey JC shared a link to an online article covering the Lees’ presence at Pink Dot to the Facebook group ‘We are Against Pink Dot in Singapore‘ – a network which encourages mostly anti-LGBT discussions.
He wrote that Lee Kuan Yew must be rolling in his grave since his son, daughter-in-law and grandson attended Pink Dot.
Netizens responding to Tobey JC’s post responded that Lee Hsien Loong has committed “political suicide” by attending the event since they will not give their support to someone who supports Pink Dot, in the event that Mr Lee chooses to contest the next election.
In the midst of the furore, Rev Nina Khong expressed her dissatisfaction with Mr Lee. She wrote: “What’s immoral remains immoral. Doesn’t matter who did it!”
In a separate comment, she added:“Walter E. Williams rightly said, “How does something immoral, when done privately, become moral when it is done collectively?
“Furthermore, does legality establish morality? Slavery was legal; apartheid is legal; Stalinist, Nazi, and Maoist purges were legal. Clearly, the fact of legality does not justify these crimes.
