    Celebrities on WMD

    Singer/actress KIT CHAN“The most direct way to help women and children who have been trafficked or forced into prostitution is by donating money. If you have money, give money. If you have ability, give ability. Singaporeans need a campaign. If the message was being broadcast loud and clear, it will change things.”

    Toy Factory Theatre’s Artistic Director BEATRICE CHIA“Action can and must be taken immediately. The fact that these children and women are only an hour away tells us that we really have no excuse not to act on it. It would be like watching our neighbour’s house burn down and not bothering to help. It is not enough to highlight the problem but to actively urge Singaporeans with compassion and time to volunteer their help.”

    Businesswoman and former model NANZ CHONG“As an entrepreneur, I say money screams. Money saves lives. With money we can send out people, build educational centres, build hospitals. People without a vision will go back to their past. Money will give them a hope and a vision. It would be good to help these cities where the victims come from. Build schools, equip the people with specific skills. Each village should be known for a specific skill or art, each town has a certain branding. Transform the towns, develop industries that need people, like tourism, create jobs, opportunities.”

    Singer and CEO of City Harvest Community Services Association SUN HO“Our ethos at City Harvest Community Services Association (CHCSA) has always been to find a need and meet it, to find a hurt and heal it. I would consider the victims of sex trafficking as individuals that I would want to help through CHCSA, to provide counseling, shelter and a follow-through program that can take them slowly but surely through the process of recovery. I hope to help them regain a vision for their future.”

    MTV host and star of Eye For A Guy DENISE KELLER“I’m appalled at hearing about Singapore army boys who use their allowance to “satisfy their sexual curiosity” by going to places like Batam to use underaged girls for sex. As an army personnel, you are entrusted with the very protection of those unable to protect themselves, such as children.”

    Nominated Member of Parliament EUNICE OLSEN“I think this is an urgent problem. Why is having sex with minors an offence for Singaporeans here but not outside of Singapore? This is not what our country is built on! Enacting the anti-sex tourism law will do two things: it will deter and it will punish. This is not condoned, so we need to enact the law. We need to send a message: THIS IS WRONG!”

    Actress KAREN TAN“The abuse of children for sex is a very upsetting issue. Child pornography is insidious, an evil invented by man. Child abuse of every kind is wrong. My daughter Rachel is nine, which is how young some of the victims of forced prostitution are. Sometimes when I’m putting her to bed at nine, and she’s yawning, I think in another country, a little girl her age is being woken up to go to work.”

    Actress TAN KHENG HUA“Whatever little celebrity I have, I hope will help the cause. Awareness is important — we will have made a difference if we made even just one guy reconsider.”
