Supremacy of Constitution
4. This Constitution is the supreme law of the Republic of Singapore and any law enacted by the Legislature after the commencement of this Constitution which is inconsistent with this Constitution shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be void.

PART IV, FUNDAMENTAL LIBERTIES
Equal protection
12. —(1) All persons are equal before the law and entitled to the equal protection of the law.

Read the argument on the unconstitutional nature of the Section (in the open letter); I hadn’t ever thought about that facet of the matter, truth be told. I hadn’t ever cared much about the matter. But the matter needs looking into, just because the argument is valid. If we do not uphold our constitution, who will?
