Posted by: Plume
"Writing captures our elusive changing self so that we can look at the self, appreciate and embrace who we are." Suchen

Pelangi Pride Centre aims to empower sexual minorities
and also to protect them from HIV/STI by encouraging:
Sexual health knowledge and behaviour
Pelangi Pride Centre will provide three types of resources to empower twink galleries
throughout the GLBT community: Library and Archives, Information Resources, and a
physical Community Space.
Suchen Christine Lim is the first Singapore writer and the first woman to win the
Singapore Literature Prize for her third novel, Fistful of Colours. "If you want to
enter the kingdom of gay asian bareback boys in Singapore, you will have to paint and
reach beyond your ethnic group. Paint those you do not know well, for in learning to
paint them or write about them, you will get to know them better," says Nica Sivalingam.
Fistful of Colours explored the themes of art, ethnicity, love, identity and history.
Rice Bowl begins polemically, levelling harsh criticisms at Singapore's pragmatic,
regulated democracy, particularly for the way its educational system produces twink flicks
rather than thinkers. According to Gopinathan, the educational system enforces
"docility, obedience to authority and acceptance of hierarchy" in students.
All these qualities appear in a scene in which a tape recorder easily substitutes
for a university lecturer: "As Dr Jones's voice came over the speakers loud and clear.
A young twink watched, amazed, for everyone else took up their pens and began
to write.
