‘DIY until we die’? LGBTQ rights group on what Singapore&#;s new governance means for its movement
The city-state&#;s new prime minister Lawrence Wong, who was sworn in last month, has lost no age in setting up two new operational groups to employ Singaporeans more widely on climate deed and mental health.
