Dr. Mahathir: Marriage Between “A Real Man and Woman” Only

During Dr. Mahathir Mohamad's tenure as prime minister, Malaysia experienced a period of rapid modernisation and economic growth, and his government initiated a series of bold infrastructure projects. This is the reason why his views are widely respected and revered.

And when Dr. Mahathir views the suggestions for complete equality between the genders as an impossible goal, not a few agreed with his position.

More Countries Join Anti-Gay Movement

When gays, lesbians, transgender and bisexuals (LGBT) trumpeted their victory in American courts, they thought that they are winning the battle to uphold their intolerant lifestyle and “give-me-all-social benefits” attitude, but they failed to see the bigger picture.

With the right of majority of Americans to choose whoever they want to be associated with being trampled by a dictatorial court, other countries watch and learn from the mistakes and are trying to promote majority preference in their own turf.

Baby Wipes Recalled Because of Bacteria

Best Practices in Preventing Human Trafficking

According to humantrafficking.org, poverty and lack of economic opportunity make women and children potential victims of traffickers associated with international criminal organizations. They are vulnerable to false promises of job opportunities in other countries. Many of those who accept these offers from what appear to be legitimate sources find themselves in situations where their documents are destroyed, their selves or their families threatened with harm, or they are bonded by a debt that they have no chance of repaying.

While women and children are particularly vulnerable to trafficking for the sex trade, human trafficking is not limited to sexual exploitation. It also includes persons who are trafficked into 'forced' marriages or into bonded labor markets, such as sweat shops, agricultural plantations, or domestic service.

Nigeria Lauded for Anti-Gay Law

Countries in Africa did not try to impose their standards on other countries neither did they compel other countries to adopt their peculiar customs. They choose to live according to what most of them think conforms to their ideals, morals and cultural beliefs as regulated by their laws.

Hence, it would be too colonial to say that laws in Africa are wrong. Just because they don't give in to what minorities are demanding in other countries does not justify ostracizing their leaders.
