Prof Paul Anantharajah Tambyah is a physician specialising in infectious diseases. He is also a politician and chairman of the Singapore Democratic Party. He was a founding member of MARUAH and a member of Action for AIDS' exco.
On 18 August 2015, sociopolitical news website 'Inconvenient Questions' interviewed Prof Paul regarding his views on Section 377A, amongst other issues. He was firmly in support of repealing 377A[1].
Transcript:
"In terms of 377A, the SDP has been very clear about this - that 377A should be repealed. And again, this is in line with the idea that there should be equality for all Singaporeans. We also don't believe that it makes sense to keep a law on the books if you have decided you are not going to enforce the law. So there has to be consistency in order for rule of law to be practised in Singapore."
