    Dress Code – while we want people to be able to express themselves, please use your best judgment; we are in a museum where people have lost their lives, and the museum is run by volunteer vets, many of whom are in their 70s to 80s.

  • Singapore Furs Under Attack

    Apparently Straits Times national newspaper article was overall positive but exposed that Singapore Furs are mostly male, then connected Furry to LGBTQ

    ⁃ Many furs in Singapore were not aware that this ST article would be run, and are mostly in the closet. After this ST article was published, some SG and non-SG were questioned by family, friends and colleagues simply because they use furry shirts, keychains or standees

    ⁃ Many Malaysians cross the land border daily to work in Singapore and vice versa, and read each other’s national newspapers. Singapore is also a regional hub for APAC operations, and houses many South East Asian expatriates who work in Singapore. ST readers across countries now assume that Furry = LGBTQ

    ⁃ LGBTQ relations are illegal in Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and Myanmar; and leads to harsh penalties under Islamic law.

    ⁃ Even before this ST article, 2024 FURUM in Malaysia had already been harassed by a religious influencer with 393k followers on Instagram

    This document is intended as a historical record of how this ST article has impacted the furry community beyond Singapore’s borders. This was written by various furs across Singapore and Malaysia’s furry communities, with further contributors from the South East Asia region. Some furs have consented to put their names down, while some others have chosen to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation.
