There are a lot of quiet achievers amongst our kids that dont make the news. I have seen them go to the UK, US, Germany etc to pursue their interest from academia to the arts. Most don't come back and have done well.
They don't ask people for money and are prepared to take on jobs to pay their way.
When one can't tell the difference between the silent achievers and a spoilt kid who is taking advantage of a few naive lot, one does a great disservice to those who have achieved many things in their own quiet way.
It's poor upbringing when you trash someone's religion in such a manner. People of faith do have feelings. We might be atheists but there is no reason to go to such extent.
I do understand there are people who can't tell the difference between free speech and the spewing of hate.
He has a the gift of the gap so do most conmen and charlatans. Kong Hee is one good example. And you you cannot convince his followers otherwise.

Many Sporeans who are Amos Yee age are still kids & still rely on their parents for $. You can even say most Sporean kids are spoilt. So I'm not surprised that he has misused the money he's received.
At least he's taken a route that many Sporeans would never think of taking. I think he's smart enough to shape up if given the chance. I've seen many Sporeans blossom when they are overseas, outside the influence of Spore, away from the PAP & their parents & maids.
