What do you think?
In the case
of 29 year Swedes, a 6 foot hunk beating up a frail 60 year old cabby claiming
that he felt threatened and unsafe, what the fuck, and he got only 12 weeks
jail. Would this be adequate? And many of these trash got even lighter
punishments. How would such punishment going to help to correct their violent
behavior? Should they be given more severe punishment to teach them a lesson,
to reform them? Should they be considered for 18 or 30 months of reformative
training so that they can be turned into good residents and stop beating up old
cabbies?
Why is Amos
Yee so dangerous compares to these foreign thugs? Did Amos Yee hurt anyone,
beat up anyone? Actually Amos Yee was himself a victim of assault. Is he really
do dangerous to public security? And why were these foreign thugs not required to
be sent for reformative training?
"And why were these foreign thugs not required to be sent for reformative training?"

So why would RB want to join opposition? Or need to join?
Actually just join and draw allowance of 16K per month for the next four half to five years if elected.
ReplyDeletetried to contest in a grc under the coattails of some heavy weights. Even got PHD as lecturer also not so much salaries.
After elected just keep mum and ponteng in parliament. Some more got prestige and diplomatic immunity.
Only lost some weight and voice during hustlings.
pretend to serve the people and smile and smile and kiss the babies and shake everybody hands
After five years enough for retirement
Do you think PM Lee has a vision for more Aliens in Singapore (population white paper)?
ReplyDeleteDo you think PM Lee has a vision for more Billionaires in Singapore?
Do you think PM Lee has a vision for higher salaries for PAP Ministers?
Do you think PM Lee has a vision for a better life for Singaporeans?
Do you think PM Lee has the patience and tolerance for constructive debates with creative Singaporeans like Amos Yee & Roy Ngerng?
Do you think PM Lee has the leadership qualities to lead highly educated Singaporeans in a high performing economy?
Do you think PM Lee and the PAP are only capable of managing a low skilled regimented economy manned by Singaporean digits?
GE 2015.
Tell us what do you think?
Of course you can't compare the thrashing of a puny taxi uncle by a monster Viking with Amos Yee lah. Anyone who attempts to even embark on such "moral equivalency" should have their education awards investigated by the authorities that weed out "fakers".
ReplyDeleteAmos is DEFINITELY MORE DANGEROUS than any foreign or local bully who indiscriminately hantams others---for fun or as a reaction from a perception of "threat".
The culprits who violently assault others are very simply charged in court, then sentenced to whatever the court decides. Open and shut. End of story.
But not so with Amos. For a multitude of reasons, mostly resting on the idea that certain events and their consequences have LONG TAIL EFFECTS. (LTE) In culture/ politics this means that many "small timers" like Amos (if he inspires others to do likewise) have the potential to UPSET and DISRUPT the "power" held by the few in authority at the top, as the costs of producing material like Amos is LOW (can be done at home with any computer and webcam or even a smartphone), and distribution costs are essentially negligible.
However for the "authorities", their costs are substantial. They have to produce and disseminate their "ideas"---i.e. production and distribution is resource intensive. In this case, it takes an entire govt. with the support of stat boards like MDA, and the courts to deal with the "viral" effects caused by one "solo" 16 year old and his computer. This is the effect of the power law's "long tail"
So what is the "danger"? To the average person: no danger. Maybe some annoyance if they feel "offended", that's all.
The "danger" is the plausibility of certain aspects of the culture, and hence the politics (politics EMERGES from culture) to change, because what Amos did "catches on" and slowly others will follow suit and start expressing themselves right in the face of authority, challenging the validity of the authority and its imposed "laws" or "mores", using cheap, fast, efficient and GLOBAL channels of distribution like FaceBook and YouTube, with synopses and announcements spread by SMS, IM and Twitter.
If you suck oblong dick, Amos Yee, 16 years old and all....and people like him are HIGHLY dangerous, because they will rock the system until it changes rapidly once the TIPPING POINT is reached.
You must know, Amos Yee is dangerous to the PAP because he dared to utter the 'unspoken' truth. Is Amos Yee dangerous to you or me? Hardly. If he is dangerous, RB is also dangerous.
ReplyDeleteSo, by hook or by crook, he must be declared dangerous and destroyed, like Francis Seow, JBJ, and others. As the late Devan Nair said,'give a dog a bad name and then skin it.' For decades this has worked, that is why Sinkies are so obedient that they are deemed 'daft'.
I have only one wish, those horrible men going after him must get their due justice.
ReplyDeleteHe is too dangerous to be let loose.
ReplyDeleteShould be placed in high security detention
forever
until
PAP
no more
in power,
then see what
the next regime
decides.
He is too big
a threat to the
Leegime.
Wait for lightning strikes.
ReplyDeleteI heard election is around October. Now with the Amos Yee case and the earthquake fallout, the ground is not that sweet leh. But hor, with the reported damand for SEA games tickets so overwhelming that someone even went to the extent of printing fake tickets, we are going to hear of the great 'orth every cent'of spending $324 million on the games. Brunei must have pulled out because of the cost.
ReplyDeleteOne the other hand, how come I see only an almost empty stadium during the atletics event. That stadium was a state of the art showpiece with everything special, including the grass that refused to grow type. It must be a waste of effort, not money, mind you. Money no problem,
Sg has never been uncolonised. Citizens are second class compare to foreigners who are first class.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Amos Yee can join opposition and take on TPL. It will be highly entertaining.
ReplyDeleteDear Redbean, you are my hero for continuing to blog on the Amos issue. Your article makes it very clear how disproportionate the punishment they are going to mete out to rape the 16 year old schoolboy for the crime of insulting our dead prime minister. It really opens our eyes to see how vicious and wicked are the devils who are in power in governing Singapore.
ReplyDeleteI hope more bloggers will follow your example and never let this disgraceful issue be forgotten.
The case of Amos Yee is not a case of Amos Yee.
ReplyDeleteIt is a case of Singapore and Its Judiciary System.
It is a case of Singapore and Its Present Government.
It is a case of Singapore and Its Immature Citizenry.
It is a case of The Strong Bullying the Weak.
It is a case of the Unreasonable versus the Logical.
It is a case of Lies versus Truths.
It is a case of Condemnation versus Compassion.
it is a case of Dictatorship versus Democracy.
It is a case of Abuse of Power against Humanity.
It is THE Catalyst for the Beginning of Freedom for All.
It is THE Start of the End for the Power That Be.
