Then he bears a grudge, goes back to India, and after reaching adulthood he recruits real terrorists to bomb Singapore.
Like many posts here, I have had a range of emotions ranging from wanting to plaster his race with stereotypical racists taunts to wanting to forgive a 13 yr old who perhaps, did not know any better.
I've kept myself in check with those racist taunts; I've had the privilege of having a stern but kind mentor of Indian origin in my life and will not honour the memory of this great man if I did so.
But when I ask myself, can I forgive a 13 year old who seemingly and so openly wanting to "take great revenge" on Singapore by threatening to commit an act of mass murder, I think further: Is the thoughts of this youngster truly that of his own or perhaps influenced by the environment or the people in which such very threats may be fomenting behind close doors, within the very heart of Singapore.
Perhaps such ideas of violence may have been discussed in the elitist school that he is attending (Global India International School), or maybe from the drunken mouths of the adults in his life. Even worse, these adults, supposedly people who have an influence in his life, may very well have said this in all sobriety and perhaps in a midst of rage or angry conviction.
I may therefore forgive the boy, and pass off his words as that which are "from the mouth of babes", but what we need then is a thorough investigation into the boy's background, who, why and what is responsible in making this boy sprout such words of anger and violence and hold those very people accountable.
And lastly, lest forummers here take this too lightly, might I remind of how such an act of terrorism had once struck so very close to our hearts:
after he served his jail term then i will definitely forgive him.

My bet is this flared-nosed ass clown will skip town before he turns 18 so that he can avoid NS altogether.
The boy and his family should be deported and barred from entering sinkapore for 10 years. How did this kid grew such a hatred for sinkapore is reflective of his parents.
We are accepting and tolerating too many foreigners who have such deep hatred for sinkapore and not doing anything about it now will only lead to more violent outcomes in the near future.
Sorry just realized this idiot is a foreigner. Reform centre not appropriate then. Whole family should be deported as a MINIMUM punishment.
