Stop diseases, ban parties

RAUNCHY incidents were reported during the ZoukOut party on Sentosa on Dec 8.

It is shocking that the authorities allowed the party, coming just after we marked World Aids Day.

In March 2005, Senior Minister of State for Health Balaji Sadasivan stated his hypothesis that the allegedly gay Nation parties on Sentosa caused a spike in Aids cases. These parties stopped after his comment.

Why are parties such as ZoukOut still allowed, given that there is now evidence that sexual activities took place during these events? In addition to spreading diseases, there could be underaged patrons engaging in undesirable activities with sad consequences.

All such parties should be banned.
