Thio Su Mien (née Huang) is a Singaporean former legal academic and lawyer.
[5][6] In 2009, a group of conservative Christian women from the Church of Our Savior, under the leadership of Josie Lau and Thio, took over the executive council of the group alleging AWARE, a non-governmental organization in Singapore concerned with promoting gender equality.
6 of the 11 newly elected executive committee were church members who had only joined the group 3 months prior to the election, and 80 of the 120 attendees of the meeting were similarly new members from the church.
[9] Deputy Prime minister Wong Kan Seng commented that "a group of conservative Christians, all attending the same church, which held strong views on homosexuality, had moved in and taken over AWARE because they disapproved of what AWARE had been doing", and called for tolerance, cautioning that religion and politics must be kept separate.
In 2004, Thio reportedly blamed the 2003 SARS outbreak on Singapore's stance on abortion, and asserted that prayers seeking mercy and forgiveness allowed Singapore to avoid being affected by the 2004 Indian ocean earthquake and tsunami.
