New Delhi: Ever since US Parliament Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Asia, the spate of controversies continues. At first, only China was angered by his visit to Taiwan, but now the government of Singapore has also been worried by Pelosi’s statement. According to sources, Nancy Pelosi suggested to Singaporean business firms that they should support the LGBT community, protect their interests.
According to the situation, after this statement by Pelosi, there is now unrest regarding the LGBT community in Singapore because Section 377-A has not been removed in Singapore. Relationships between men are also considered criminal there. In such a situation, when Nancy Pelosi spoke about the LGBT community, the Singapore government became worried. According to the information, the Singapore government has said in a statement that Singapore has the right to discuss all issues related to LGBT. There will be an agreement after talking to everyone. The government in its statement also said that companies can do anything at their level, but should not support any issue that proves socially divisive for the country.
However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Singapore has also given an advice for America. It is emphasized that in some cases foreign intervention cannot be accepted. According to the information received from the sources, there has been a controversy regarding Article 377A in Singapore for a long time. A petition challenging 377A was rejected in February this year itself. All the government has to say about the entire dispute is that it is still trying to find a solution through dialogue.
Singapore’s status is reportedly still limited to discussion, but Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan has set China on fire. The situation is such that after many years, missiles are again being launched from China around Taiwan. Apart from this, fighter planes are also being sent to Taiwan’s air zone.
