A petition has been started to protest against the new exco of Aware.
As stated on its website (www.we-are-aware.sg), the "Save Aware" campaign is petitioning for a vote of no confidence in the new exco as "the foundation of AWARE as an inclusive and secular society has been challenged".
They accuse the new exco of a lack of transparency, lack of experience, the unjustified termination and disregard of experienced volunteers, and the undermining of Aware's fundamental values.
In its petition on gopetition.com, there is an appeal to the public to join Aware and attend the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to be held on May 2.
Calling their move a "hostile takeover", the passionate appeal on gopeition.com said that new exco members are "linked to fundamentalist" groups, and warn that their "fundamentalist ambitions" may extend beyond Aware.
The women's group has been embroiled in controversy since a group of new members was unexpectedly voted in as its new committee.

change is good. Being inclusive of the gays & lesbians
