"There will be numerous court dates, me coming in and out of prison, each time I'll maybe write a blogpost here, make a video there, condemning the military, condemning the government. All the attentions (sic) and negative press you and I will receive, it'll be amazing."
In his post, which was addressed to Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, Yee urged the Singapore government to "refuse to issue travel documents for me to return".
