Serious Amos Yee Is Now A Refugee! Seeking Asylum In America!!

no mpship in u.s.
can of worms. young male sinkies trying to avoid ns can now suka suka claim asylum.
Not Suka suka, but he has been persecuted before due to his freedom of expression on religion. That takes into account.
pap must be doing something wrong when young Singaporean guys want to avoid NS!
PAP better reflect on what it did wrong! Isnt it pap's contention that NS is a privilege reserved for Singaporeans?
It's your whore mother Lola indeed. Its Christmas season but some people full of bad heart year round.
Yes, and he has been an effective thorn on pap's side. Kudos to Amos!
I bet pap is very happy to have him permanently out of SG
in the u.s. political asylum queue, there are far more pressing cases than amos'. his is deemed very low priority unless his life and family's well being are in danger. sg is not in the same category as nk.
this whole amos yee saga made me realise singapore is like a country of children pretending to be adults,we so badly want to be like grown ups but the truth is most sinkies maturity and wisdom and iq in dealing with real life experiences is just subpar or not up there......if this was russia for example or USA or any other country for the matter,they would simply send a highly seasoned diplomat or some academic or intellectual think tank like noam Chomsky or some highly regarded authority or expert or prize winning nobel economist like greenspan or milton friedman to debate or talk it out with this 17 year old youngling detractor,or perhaps obama or putin would meet him face to face and discuss issues,im pretty damn sure putin with his sheer wit and intelligence would shred him to pieces and his arguments, with his charisma and charm and years of experience handling the most toughest political opponents he would have easily handled the matter with the utmost grace and finesse leaving russia smelling sweet as roses.im sure if lky was still alive he would do the same,except since he is a coward he would probably take steps to dispose of any real political threat just as well.
but arse loong and the PAP handled the matter like a bunch of kids,instead of smoothing things out diplomatically,instead they threw the kid into jail on a bunch of trumped up charges including roy ngerg and made use of the court of law to perverse the justice and constitution and then arse loong refused to even turn up for the hearing.just like how they handled the terrex issue,simply issued an order and statement and expect the terrex to be returned expeditiously? like how they used the machinery of the government and law and the parliament to get whatever they want and pass any bill?why didnt arse loong meet up with the chinese government to talk things out?in the real world things dont happen rule by law,theres negotiations and compromises between parties,or threats if u got the guts to go that far.

anwar ibrahim is probably in need of asylum more than him,compared to malaysia sg is child's play.
Hmmmmm... True too..
I wont be surprised if SG's MFA facilitates Amos' request to get rid of that thorn
for u.s. to grant asylum, mfa must play reverse psychology. "we want that mudderfugger back now! toothpick in fingernail, rodents on tummy, red ants on genitals, water boarding techniques await his return." "and then we cut his balls off."
How do you think Tan Wah Piow got asylum in UK, Francis Seow in USA and Tan Liang Hong in Australia?
Every year people come to the United States seeking protection because they have suffered persecution or fear that they will suffer persecution due to:
Race
Religion
Nationality
Membership in a particular social group
Political opinion
If you are eligible for asylum you may be permitted to remain in the United States. To apply for Asylum, file a Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, within one year of your arrival to the United States. There is no fee to apply for asylum.
I think it would be better he seek asylum before he is being persecuted.. But now.. He does not has anything against him.
Alvin Tan do it before he was sent to jail. But for Amos he ready serve his sentence.
Nobody wants to serve NS, unless they can do exactly what they were doing before they started their NS and after they finished their NS.
If Amos had any intelligence, he would have sought asylum in the Scandinavian countries.

Singaporean teenage dissident Amos Yee, held in an Illinois jail following a US political asylum bid, faces at least several more days behind bars during the holiday lull period – and may have to wait years to find out if American authorities will grant him citizenship, his lawyer said on Saturday.
US officials meanwhile confirmed the 18-year-old was detained at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport on December 16.
Yee was detained and sent to the McHenry County Jail near Chicago after he told immigration officials during a secondary screening that he was seeking asylum.
He was turned over to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and remains in their custody “pending federal immigration court proceedings,” a Department of Homeland Security official told This Week in Asia.
Yee served two jail stints in Singapore for online posts denigrating religion and an obscene cartoon featuring the country’s late founding leader Lee Kuan Yew.
Maryland-based lawyer Sandra Grossman, who is representing Yee on a pro-bono basis, said Yee was likely detained because he entered the US with a tourist visa despite “an intention to apply for asylum or remain” in the country.
“This would have meant he was present without possession of a valid visa or entry document, making him inadmissible to the US, and subject to what is known as expedited removal,” Grossman said.
To obtain political asylum, Yee would first have to undergo a “Credible Fear Interview” by an asylum official who would assess if he faces a “credible fear of persecution or torture”.
After a positive credible fear determination, he would likely be released from detention to await a court hearing on his asylum bid. He would have the right to remain in the US and seek work authorisation during this period.
The holiday season could delay Yee’s case being referred for the first interview, Grossman said. The interview process usually takes a few days. “We are calling and writing to ICE in Chicago with the hopes that they will interview him quickly,” she said.
The subsequent opportunity to appear before an immigration judge could take years because of backlogs in the immigration system, Grossman added.
“Once his case goes before an immigration judge, I think his chances are extremely high.”
Singapore’s foreign ministry did not immediately comment on the case. A Singaporean diplomatic source said the city-state does not extend consular aid to asylum seekers.
News of Yee’s detention drew vastly opposing views in Singapore after it was first reported on Friday by This Week in Asia. The teenager – who has more than 40,000 followers on Facebook and thousands of others on Twitter and YouTube – is a polarising figure in Singapore.
Some view him as an enfant terrible challenging the city-state’s tight lid on dissent, while others regard him as a divisive attention seeker. On Friday, some online commentators speculated that Yee’s asylum bid was aimed at dodging conscription – which is compulsory for all able-bodied male citizens and permanent residents in Singapore once they turn 18.
Yee was first jailed for four weeks in July last year for wounding religious feelings in an expletive-laden YouTube video comparing Singapore’s late political patriarch Lee with Jesus and for posting an obscene image featuring the leader and the late former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The video, titled “Lee Kuan Yew is finally dead!” was uploaded days after Lee’s death at age 91 on March 23 last year, sparking widespread public anger.
In September this year, a local court sentenced him to six weeks imprisonment for similar offences of wounding religious feelings in online comments criticising Christianity and Islam.
In an interview with online portal The News Lens International after his last jail stint, Yee said he was a changed man who had “transitioned from an entertainer to a full-fledged activist”.
“At around the same time as going to jail, I thought I should change my approach,” he said in the interview published on December 12.
Rights groups say Yee’s convictions showcase Singapore’s overly tough laws to curb dissent, but the ruling People’s Action Party has long defended limits on freedom of speech to ensure social stability in the multi-ethnic and multireligious country.
