Amos is the Y generation kids that want instant gratification and reward now. They are the latch key kids that come home from school to see their parents not in the house. The only people that they admire, look to or close to, are their teachers or peers. They don't know who was Mendala, Hitler, Cheko pek Bill Clintion and so on.
LKY is not for Amos, the Y generation, and he cannot comprehend a 90y.o old man, his grandfather type, is great man he should look to.
This is the problem that the AG, PAP government, should consider when trail Amos.

You've heard that 40 is the new 30. And 30 is the new 20. Now, a behavior expert says 26 may be the new 18. In his opinion, children born between 1984 and 2002 have grown up in an age of instant gratification.
Dr. Tim Elmore, founder of Growing Leaders, says parents are going on job interviews with their children, and calling professors over their child's bad grade.
He calls them generation Y and iY. So, how do you fix it? He says you have to let your children fail sometimes.
Mackenzie Wilson is a molecular biology senior with dreams of becoming a doctor. Her parents gave her the same speech so many others get before entering college.
"My parents always told me that I could do anything I set my mind to," said Wilson.
But they didn't stop there.

What’s wrong with our young today?
A man had just passed away. He was no ordinary man. He had dedicated his life to found a nation and built it to become one of the most admired nations on earth, against all odds. Massive number of citizens of the nation queued up under the hot sun and cried in heavy rain to show him their last respects. Leaders past and present, from near and far, came to pay him their last respects, to express their admiration for him. This man was none other than the world-renowned statesman Mr. Lee Kuan Yew (LKY).
