No Homosexuals in Malaysian Navy, Says Chief
Today,
February 25, 2005
KUALA LUMPUR�The Malaysian navy
has made it clear that homosexuals will not be admitted into its fold.
Commenting on a report yesterday on the British navy
recruiting gays, Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) chief Mohd Anwar Mohd Nor said the
country�s laws were clearly against unnatural sexual acts.
�We do not condone such unnatural sex acts,� the New
Straits Times quoted him as saying at a function in Kuala Lumpur.
Britain�s Royal Navy was reported to have signed an
agreement with lobby group Stonewall to promote homosexual rights.
Britain lifted its ban on homosexuals serving in the
military in 2000 following a European court ruling that the exclusion was
unlawful.
�The RMN will never accept homosexuals as we have to
protect the image of the navy,� the RMN chief said.
