In “Important to respect variety in viewpoints and perceptions” (April 28), the letter writer characterised pastor Lawrence Khong’s stand on LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) issues as anti-LGBT.
However, Mr Khong employs people from the LGBT community in his magic show, and also started Touch Community Services, which serves the needy, regardless of age, race, language, religion or sexual orientation and gender identity.
The organisation is something to be proud of and has won numerous awards from our Government. It is important to represent both sides fairly in the IKEA debate.
Mr Khong also heads Love Singapore, a community of churches, and started its ElderCare Network, whereby any elderly person needing help can approach any of the participating churches and help will be given.
He has contributed towards building an emotionally strong. gracious and loving Singapore, as the writer called for, and this should be commended.
