Anyhowhantam: RTC is now a Clear and Present Danger to Amos Yee
- Thread starter zeroo
- Start date
More like RTC will be in trouble when Amos is in it..
Lee Hsien Loong in his first national day speech in 2004 as prime minister invoked Chairman Mao’s “let the hundred flowers bloom”.
He added: “… we are going to do is to open up the Speakers’ Corner where you can go and make any speech you like and we are going to say, ‘Well, if you want to go there and have an exhibition, go ahead.”
And now, ten years after his speech, not just a 100 flowers have blossomed, cyberspace and Hong Lim Park have merged into one gigantic political force never seen before in Singapore’s history. This certainly was not what he had anticipated.
Amos is the latest casualty. More to come?

Mao use 百花齐放 to draw out his political opponents and use the 红卫兵 to beat the shit out of them in the cultural revolution. Do pinkie has something similar to the red guards?

Isn't it not surprising that dogs like stuffychute, John Tan and zeroo are always the first to supply the good news about PAP and/or those unfavorable to the opposition? They are always jubilant when something befalls the anti-PAP forces. Nothing good is say for the patriotic forces.
Creating doubts instead and belittling oppos continuously. Watch out for the PAP IB!

They took the tactics straight out of Microsoft's PR/marketing department: creating FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt). Paying off reviewers on prominent tech sites to write glowing reviews of crappy Microsoft products.... the equivalent of the PAP IB machinery and some 'neutral and apolitical' bloggers. Using celebrities (real or imaginary) to create a halo effect for its brand. Negative attacks against rivals (Microsoft had constantly attacked Apple and Google products with nasty ads). Paying shills to comment positively and give likes on Facebook. Erasing unflattering comments.
So... just because Amos Yee refuse to worship your legendary Hakka god, it's somehow his parents' fault? Too obvious, that blogger.
Who is responsible for this Hakka God's screwed ups and shortcomings? His parents? Dun forget he is many times older and wiser than little Amos. His parents must take responsible for his follies?
SINGAPORE - Teenage blogger Amos Yee will be remanded for 3 weeks. The Judge has called for a reformative training report.
Yee who was found guilty of uploading an obscene image and making remarks intending to hurt Christian feelings, was back in court on Tuesday morning.
The prosecution again called for Yee to be sent for reformative training.
Clad in yellow, Yee arrived at 9.30am with his parents and showed the middle finger as he passed. Yee's lawyer Alfred Dodwell arrived a few minutes before his client.
When asked by The Straits Times how he was feeling, Yee said he was "fearful" but did not elaborate.
The court gallery is less packed today than for previous sessions, with only about 20 seats filled. Unlike during past sessions, there was no queue outside. Among those present in the gallery is activist blogger Roy Ngerng. Yee's former bailor Vincent Law who Yee had falsely accused of molesting him was absent.
Yee could find out his sentence for the May 12 conviction, or be remanded for up to four weeks to be assessed for reformative training.
The 16-year-old had been summoned back to court last Wednesday for an urgent hearing, after he refused to attend any interviews with his assigned probation officer and again made public the image and video that got him into trouble in the first place.
The obscene image had the faces of Singapore's founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and former British premier Margaret Thatcher superimposed on it. Yee was also found guilty of deliberately hurting the feelings of Christians in the YouTube video, which criticised Mr Lee.
Yee initially privatised both the video and the blog post with the image after District Judge Jasvender Kaur ordered him to do so, as a consequence of the convictions.
But the prosecution noticed on May 21 that the offending video and post had been made public again.
On Monday, Yee uploaded the image onto his Facebook page as well. He also made a series of defiant posts refusing to remove the offending material.
"Me taking down my video is just candy for the Singapore government, candy that I'm not willing to give," he wrote.
In court and behind closed doors last Wednesday, Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Hay Hung Chun asked Judge Kaur to call for a report to assess Yee's suitability for reformative training.
The judge had initially called for a probation suitability report, which would have left the teenager without a criminal record.
DPP Hay said a jail term or a fine would have no rehabilitative effect on Yee.
He argued that a stint at the Reformative Training Centre (RTC) would "provide the necessary structure and discipline which Yee's present circumstances clearly lack, and will be conducive to his rehabilitation."
Reformative training is a rehabilitative sentencing option for young offenders aged under 21 who are found to be unsuitable for probation.
A stint at the RTC lasts between 18 and 30 months, and includes structured rehabilitation programmes, foot drills, and counselling. Offenders will not have contact with adult prison inmates.
