attack from the north. welcome to the programme. here in singapore, the country s prime minister has said singapore will end its ban on sex between men, but will take steps to defend the institution of marriage as a union between a man and a woman. prime minister lee hsein loong said singaporean society was becoming more accepting of gay people and the british colonial era law was out of date. the legal ban on sex between men, while not enforced, has long been criticised by lgbt activists although many more conservative citizens still support it. the government will repeal section 377 a and decriminalise sex between men. i believe this is the right thing to do, and something that most singaporeans will now accept. the prime minister speaking there. with me is our asia digital reporter tessa wong, who has been following and reporting on this issue for years in singapore. great to get you on the programme, tassagh. ithink it s fair to say that there has been huge joy it s fai
