Ms Thio Bee Got, a virulent opponent of the efforts to repeal section 377A of the Penile Code, apparently received hate mail from local award-winning poet Elephant Sha’atup saying that he would “piss on her grave”. (Don’t just believe everything you read in the State’s Times: read the actual email or something very much like it here.)

Ms Thio then filed a police report stating that the brief, single email constituted harassment, very similar in substance to the kind of sustained, abusive harassment Singaporean gays have been enduring for decades at the hands of certain authorities, religious nuts and intolerant hate-mongering bigots.

“It’s intolerable that people can send an email like that to me,” said Ms Thio. “This sort of behaviour proves why we must deprive certain people of their human rights.”

Meanwhile, the Public Utilities Board has said that the whole debacle may yet prove to be constructive for Singapore.

“The PUB has thoroughly investigated the matter,” said Minister of Urination Lim Shee Shee. “And we believe that when she passes away, Ms Thio’s grave would make an excellent collection point for the raw materials we need for making NEWater.”

Mr. Lim said the PUB had come to its decision because, “Mr. Sha’atup is a master at taking the piss out of people, and I’m sure he has inspired many more to follow his example. We expect Ms Thio’s grave to provide NEWater for generations to come.”

In related news, a US-based organization is cheering the conservative stance taken by Singapore’s parliament. “That’s the kind of spirit we’d lahk to see even here in the U.S. of A.,” said Mr. Ray Sist, Deputy Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. “As a gesture of encouragement, we’d lahk to send y’all a gift of white hooded masks to match your white uniform, jest lahk ours.”
