World's media report arrest of now Famous Amos
- Thread starter Confuseous
- Start date
SPF investigated before report was made then? Did the PMO ask SPF to investigate?
You can sponsor him as a political refugee.
One option is to jump bail like that msia alvin tan to seek asylum in USA.

Yeah I read somewhere that he will be tried as an adult. Why 16 year old can be tried as an adult? Based on what - his eloquence? his intelligence? So unfair. Are those 3 or 4 charges still valid if he is charged as a minor instead?
They want to make him an example to deter other youths from copying him. It will backfire ... Amos will be the lightning rod that starts the Singapore Spring.
i don't sponsor ungrateful brats who trash their mothers. i will sponsor pro-pap sycophants who get persecuted in return when the oppos cum to power in sg.
[h=1]UN CONVENTION ON RIGHTS OF A CHILD SAYS THAT AMOS' PRIVACY SHOULD BE PROTECTED[/h]

The recent arrest of 16 year old Amos Yee and threat of a 3 year jail for making an anti-Lee Kuan Yew video has sparked media attention everywhere in the world. Currently based in Hongkong, former NTU professor Cherian George has also weighed in on the case through a Facebook post.
Quoting the United Nation Convention on the Rights of a Child, he highlighted that Amos's privacy must be respected:
His view point is quite different from the previous opinion shared on the case but it is clearly also something that resonated with many readers as his status was shared over 170 times in less than 3 hours.
Apart from the large number of netizen who agreed with him, there were also mixed reactions in the comments section of his post. Some were clearly confused by the suggestion to protect his privacy:
There are also others who agreed, noting that Amos Yee had faced a lot of cyber-bullying since the incident:
TOC editor Andrew Loh has also noted that the prosecution did not apply for the identity and privacy protection of Amos. He drew parallel to the Toa Payoh Vandalism case:
For those who may think that the courts dont grant such orders for 17 year olds, this is wrong. There have been many such cases in the past. Most notably, the court issued a gag order on the identity of a 17 year old teen prostitute who caused 51 men to go to jail for under-declaring her age to her customers. The order was issued despite the late prominent lawyer Subhas Anandan criticizing the court's decision.
Do you agree that Amos Yee should be protected from any further infringements on his Privacy?

Quoting the United Nation Convention on the Rights of a Child, he highlighted that Amos's privacy must be respected:
"The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which Singapore is a party to, says in Article 40 that "every child alleged as, accused of, or recognized as having infringed the penal law” must be "treated in a manner consistent with the promotion of the child's sense of dignity and worth” – which means, among other things, that states must guarantee that the child has "his or her privacy fully respected at all stages of the proceedings”."
He also noted that Amos Yee's identity has already been revealed by himself but that doesn't excuse adults from prying into his life:
"Of course, it is too late to protect this accused's identity, and one may not be breaking any laws by failing to doing so. But there are still ethical decisions to be made about how much to pry into the boy's life. I hope we make them responsibly – not just for his sake and his family's, but really for our own, so we don't end up losing our moral compass to a kid's provocation."
His view point is quite different from the previous opinion shared on the case but it is clearly also something that resonated with many readers as his status was shared over 170 times in less than 3 hours.

Amos Yee: Singapore charges teen over anti-Lee Kuan Yew rant
A Singapore teenager has been charged over an online video criticising Christianity and the country's recently deceased founding PM Lee Kuan Yew.
Sixteen-year-old Amos Yee, who was detained on Sunday shortly after Mr Lee's state funeral, has been given bail set at S$20,000 (£9,800; $14,500).
The video sparked a huge backlash from grieving Singaporeans and more than 20 police reports were lodged.
Singapore has strict hate speech laws strengthened under Mr Lee's leadership.
Lee Kuan Yew was deeply respected by Singaporeans and his death last week prompted unprecedented public mourning.
He was widely seen as the architect of Singapore's prosperity, but during his 31 years as prime minister he also clamped down on opponents, imposed strict social rules and tight political control.
Father's apology
In the expletive-laden eight-minute video which was uploaded last Friday, Amos Yee celebrated Mr Lee's death and criticised his strict control of Singapore, calling him "a horrible person".
He said Singaporeans were scared to criticise Mr Lee and compared him disparagingly to Jesus Christ.
The video drew a visceral response from Singaporeans, who had turned up in large numbers to mourn Mr Lee last week as he lay in state.
Mr Yee subsequently took down the video, but copies have since been uploaded on YouTube.
On Tuesday, Mr Yee appeared in court to be charged on three counts: "deliberate intention of wounding the religious or racial feelings of any person", distributing obscene material and harassment.
He faces a fine and up to three years in jail if convicted.
Mr Yee - who was originally reported to be 17 - will be tried as an adult. In addition to bail, he agreed not to post any material online while the case is in progress.
Speaking outside the courtroom, his father apologised to the current Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who is Mr Lee's son.
Singapore's hate speech laws are intended to ensure harmony between its multi-ethnic population and prevent a recurrence of the racial violence of its early years.
In a statement Deputy Commissioner Tan Chye Hee said the police "take a stern view of acts that could threaten religious harmony in Singapore".
Amos Yee was one of several people who went online to publicly criticise Mr Lee's legacy - others include human rights activists and a prominent poet - but he is the only one to have been arrested.
A petition started by a Christian Singaporean has been launched, calling for his release.
Media rights group the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said the arrest "highlights the restrictive environment in which Singaporean journalists are forced to work".
"We call on authorities to release Amos Yee immediately and to undertake reform of Singapore's outdated laws restricting the media," said CPJ's Asia spokesman Bob Dietz.

UN gives a fuck. Pap just buy more fighter planes, weapons and other useless stuff from US will do.
Only Singaporeans - even minors - are swiftly arrested while foreigner adults like Pinoy Ello walked away scot free. One of the charges about protection of harrassment and causing distress could surely be applied to Ello's remarks in the same way.
can try mah... !!!! why not..anything to torture the PAP, it is worth doing..
Did they tried the 2 kids who stole bicycle at joo chiat ang got handcuffed as adults? Are they gg to try the role model double murder policeman as a minor?
One country, two laws!!
I will be most afraid if you were leading Singapore as the PM. You don't even care a shit when your father is condemned and defaced and when your reputation and character are smeared to pieces. I have absolutely no confidence that you have the gumption to even know how to handle difficult political situation since all you probably know and can only do is carrying babies, kissing their foreheads and sucking up to children's tales.
