Aware exco is not a pawn of the church, says Pastor Derek Hong in statement.
From the blog of Ovidia Yu:
Thio Su Mien is publicly out as part of the new Aware ExCo takeover team now.
I deleted the post I was preparing on how Aware could/might/should try to work it out together for the best of all women in Singapore–it’s not going to happen.
Oh–and I hear they’ve fired the center manager tonight (paid staff who was not involved in the elections)
And changed the locks–apparently you’ll need special hi tech pass cards to get in–very different from being a welcoming place for all women to come to help & be helped right?
The press are there, so watch out for statement in papers tomorrow!
Note: Dr. Thio Su Mien, is a former Dean of the Faculty of Law of the National University of Singapore (NUS) and presently Senior Executive Director of TSMP Law Corporation; her brother, Thio Shen Yi, is Joint Managing Director of the same law firm.
Clarification from Ms Ovidia Yu: Thio Shen Yi is Thio Su Mien’s son not brother. Shen Yi and Thio Li Ann are siblings.
