Travel alert on gay sex

03aug05

AUSTRALIANS travelling to Singapore are being warned they could go to
jail if they are caught having gay sex.

In updated travel advice, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
reminds Australians that Singapore's strict sex laws include harsh
penalties.

"Australians are reminded that when overseas they are subject to local
laws," DFAT said.

"A violation of local laws may result in a jail sentence, served in a
local prison."

In particular, the website warns that gay sexual acts are illegal in
Singapore and can lead to jail.

"Homosexual acts are illegal in Singapore and penalties include
imprisonment," DFAT said.
