Amos Yee then launched into a tirade aimed at the Singapore opposition.

He also suggested he could topple the Singapore government if "I really put my mind to it".

Yee wrote: "So why in the fuck would you risk jeopardising that comfortable political position by letting me back in Singapore? You think I'm just going to quietly accept my punishment and agree to serve in the military? Fuck you!"

In Singapore, threatening to topple the government is a very serious matter that falls under several strict laws. The legal framework is designed to protect "national security" and "public order," and the authorities generally have a zero-tolerance policy for such rhetoric.

Here is a breakdown of the relevant laws:

Relevant Legislation
1. The Penal Code (Sections 121 and 121A)
The most severe charges fall under Offences against the State.
* Waging War: Under Section 121, anyone who wages war against the Government, or attempts or abets it, faces the death penalty or imprisonment for life.
* Offences against the President's Authority: Section 121A specifically covers those who plot to "overawe" the Government by force or show of force.

2. Internal Security Act (ISA)
The ISA allows the government to detain individuals without trial if they are deemed a threat to national security. This includes actions or threats that aim to overthrow the government or incite violence to destabilize the state.

3. Maintenance of Religious Harmony Act (MRHA)
If the threat to the government is made using religious platforms or involves inciting religious friction to cause political unrest, the MRHA can be invoked.

4. Protection from Harassment Act (POHA)
On a smaller scale, if a threat is made toward a specific public servant or government official that causes them alarm or distress, it can be prosecuted under POHA.

Consequences of Online Threats
It is a common misconception that "venting" or "trolling" online is protected. In Singapore, the Telecommunications Act and the Penal Code (concerning criminal intimidation) make it an offence to transmit messages that are known to be false or threatening.
If a Singaporean makes a public threat to topple the government:

* Investigation: The Internal Security Department (ISD) or the Police will likely launch an immediate investigation.
* Criminal Record: Convictions for offences against the State lead to heavy jail terms and a permanent criminal record.
* Social/Employment Impact: Due to the severity of these charges, it often results in immediate job termination and significant social fallout.

> Note: There is a clear legal distinction between constructive criticism (which is legal) and incitement or threats of violence (which are illegal and punishable by imprisonment).

EDMWer boeing767 :

I spoke to Amos last week on the phone.

He's dying not to be deported back to Singapore, but his only option is to apply for protection under the Convetion Against Torture (CAT), which he clearly doesn't qualify for, because, while he was "persecuted" in Singapore, he wasn't tortured.

So I told him that's a dead end.

And without CAT protection, he can't go to a 3rd country (which is what the judge told him).

His asylum has already been revoked, so he's removable from the US.

His ONLY hope now is to pray that somehow the Singapore government refuses to take him back, so he can't be removed to Singapore, then he can continue to stay in ICE detention and file for a habeas corpus suit to continue living in the US as a free man.

In other words, the ball is in Lawrence Wong's court now.

Do you think he'll issue travel documents to receive Amos Yee @ Changi Airport?

All up to him now.

Well you should probably advise him to be cautious with his words… The threat to overthrow the government for one is actually a persecutable charge… and a serious one ar that. If there’s a good chance he will end back here he does not need more charges on his rapsheet.

I know he absolutely fears having to work… but is sitting in an infamously austere jail cell any better?

I'll definitely tell him to be careful with his words.

He wouldn't want to burn yet another bridge in his life.

I'll tell him to not turn a 3-year prison sentence into lifelong detention without trial under ISA.

The last time I spoke to him, I told him point-blank that he already screwed up his 2nd chance in life (and it's America, what a fumble... If he fumbled Indonesia or Colombia, that's still not so bad).

Don't screw up his 3rd chance -- just accept his punishment for evading NS (I used "paying a toll" as an analogy), and then start afresh again either in Singapore or in a 3rd country, but at least he'll be moving to a 3rd country from a position of strength, not getting helplessly deport to a 3rd country not of his choice or volition.

PAP regime and its sychopants really love to demonize Amos Yee. I remember back in the day, the public demonization of Amos Yee began after he released a video/blog post criticizing the CPF system and dissing LKY, then for 'insulting religion'.

This was from April 2015:
