  Minister: Gay festival may be behind HIV surge???
"ONE of Asia's most popular gay and lesbian festivals may be behind a sharp rise in the number of new HIV infections in Singapore, a government minister told parliament on Wednesday, March 9. Senior Minister of State for Health, Balaji Sadasivan, cited an unnamed medical expert's opinion that the Nation festival, which attracts thousands of revellers from around the region each August, is a possible cause for the rise."

Oh man, the many interesting things we see in Singapore.

For more interesting news on Singapore, I highly recommend the singapore window.

Hahaa..i've been terribly out of the news, but i was just WAITING for the peepz at the government to mention the gay festivals...they'd like any reason to take those festivals out
 
i think the unamed medical expert he's refering to is his private doctor hehehe. Man... but this is actually ok, do you know that in Indonesia (i don't know if this is passed as a law or something) that someone proposed buying condomns if you are not married is illegal!
 
Looking for information and found it at this great site...
