Amos Yee goes to 'Jail' again....

Part 1 - Amos is detained after he told US Immigration he was seeking asylum

Part 2 - Amos is denied release and will be detained until his hearing on 7 March. 

Update (4 Feb): 
According to various media reports, Amos will not be released and instead will be detained by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) until his court hearing on 7 March 2017 which apparently is inline with President Trump's "new directives". By then, Amos would have been in detention for 80 days - which is almost twice as long as the 42 days (or 6 weeks) jail sentence Amos had to serve for 'wounding religious feelings'.  A quick search on Google seems to overwhelmingly suggest that conditions in the US immigration detention centres are depressingly bleak at best (like this and this). Maybe Amos can pull his depression/suicide stun again to try and gain some sympathy. Whatever it is, Amos reaps what he sows.

Oh, and where are all his supporters? How come there is still no talk of holding a "vigil" or protest to demand his release from detention?




Just when we had all but forgotten about Amos Yee, out he pops like a yellow pimple with yet another stunt.

This time, he’s gone over to the US to seek “political asylum”, and probably to escape his National Service duties as well.

We wouldn’t have bothered posting about him since posting news about him only feeds his egomania but the irony here is too great/funny.

Amos had probably thought that America would welcome him like a Hero, since he was escaping from an ‘authoritarian’ country which has 'denied' his desire for 'absolute' free speech. So when he landed, Amos told the US Immigration Officer that he was seeking asylum. 

Next thing you know, he’s been sent off to Jail where he’s been detained pending a hearing on his asylum application, which apparently can take a really long time.

And now that things have not gone the way he had expected, he’s now complaining about the US.

The sweet irony - Amos could potentially be detained in the US for longer than what he was sentenced to in S'pore.

You can read more about his situation at the links below, if you can be bothered to.

But all we can say is good riddance to bad rubbish. 

America, you are more than welcomed to keep Amos for yourselves. Please don’t send him back to us. 

And we also wonder where did all of Amos’s fans and supporters disappear to. Afterall, Amos needs more money to fund his "escape from Singapore". 

So where are all his  suckers supporters?

The Disgusting and Morally-bankrupt Opposition personalities in Singapore

So PM Lee stumbled, appeared to have been fainting or ill during his annual National Day Rally speech.

And immediately, we see our two opposition MP-wannabees clowns personalities posting heartless remarks on social media.

S'pore Democratic Party Chief Chee Soon Juan's original Tweet

Reform Party Chief Kenneth Jeyaretnam's original Tweet

You can disagree on everything that your political opponent does or say. You can (figuratively speaking) fight tooth and nail over policy.

But when you have to resort to wishing illness and death on them simply just to advance your political agenda and score points with your supporters, you are simply exposing your own immature disposition and shallowness of character to the rest of Singapore.

It does not matter what your political views or preference is, Singapore cannot afford to elect such unprincipled and immature people into Parliament. 

CSJ's same FB posting which was subsequently amended, and amended and amended...

Pic: FLOP FB Page

KJ deleted his original tweet after suffering backlash on Tweeter but obviously he is still unapologetic for his original tweet as evidenced by his subsequent excuses. Is this the sort of person whom you want representing Singaporeans in Parliament?

Update (23 Aug)
The Independent SG is trying to make excuses for KJ.

Pic: Shut Down TRS - Guess TISG and Kenneth think Singaporeans are stupid to believe that Kenneth Jeyaretnam's insensitive twitter post is due to him thinking it was an autocue error that caused PM Lee to falter!!

What else can be said about KJ and CSJ, except for this?

We are refraining from posting any news on Amos mainly because we think he is just thriving on all the attention that he attracts with his childish antics. That fella really has a screw or two lose in his head.

But this sort of statements from a Opposition Party leader - Wah Lao eh.. How can he say such unfounded words? which planet is KJ living on leh?

With opposition wannabes like KJ, it's no wonder the opposition have little credibility with the average voter.

Really? Is this how a MP-wannabe should behave?

Reform Party Fatty chief Kenneth Jeyaretnam posted this  and this on Twitter on 19 March 2016.

Are such remarks befitting a leader of a Opposition Party?  Do these remarks even make sense?

Is Kenneth living in a alternate universe where Singapore is being ruled by a vicious dictator?

By the way, Kenneth, if LKY was indeed a "tyrant" dictator as you say, do you really think that you would still be around to sprout your nonsense and rubbish both online and in the real world? Would you brother, Philip Jeyaretnam, be invited to to be a member of the Singapore Public Service Commission?

If LKY was really a "bully, tyrant and racist", then explain why Singaporeans of all walks of life and races, came forward spontaneously to queue for hours on end to pay their respects to LKY?

Would notable world leaders, like the former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, come and attend his funeral?

Rightly or wrongly, it is quite understandable why you harbor such hatred for LKY. Afterall, your father did go through a lot with LKY. Everyone gets that.

But that doesn't mean that you have to be so irrational with your criticism.

Don't like the PAP? Sure, no problem. 33% of Singaporeans too according to GE 2015.

But as a Opposition Party leader who aspires to represent ALL Singaporeans and our interests in Parliament, how do such biased and emotional remarks help with Singapore's development as a nation?

You want to oppose the sitting government? Think that they are crap? Sure, why not?

Just explain why with rational reasons. Win over the voters with better plans backed up with sound logic and NOT with half-truths and popularist statements.

In any case, I think you better give up politics.

Singaporeans had considered you and your party in GE 2011 and 2015. And the results are telling. Reform Party failed to win any seats, and worse yet, the vote share decreased from 4.28% (86,294 votes in2011) to 2.63% (59,432 votes in 2015).

Even in the 2013 By-Elections for Punggol East SMC, Reform Party's performance was dismal..only gathering 1.2% or 353 votes.

You are just living in your own world with such bias and hatre that you are no longer capable of rational thought.

As you aptly pointed out after GE2015, Singaporeans deserve the Govt that they voted for. And for now, a PAP-led government is in the best interests of Singapore.

Oh, and as a "public" figure, if you have nothing better to share than your own messed-up emotions and flawed viewpoints, perhaps you should just keep them to yourself, lest you alienate your voters even more.

Supporters of Amos the Banana-Boy - "No Sound, No Picture??"

Amos says that he is playing hide and seek with on the run from the police.

But strangely enough, all the usual anti-government / anti-PAP groups and personalities are really quiet where Amos is concerned.

Has anyone wondered what happened to all of Amos Yee's ardent supporters?

Earlier in July 2015, they were all out in full of force, showing their support for Amos, to the extent of holding a candlelight vigil for him, and even travelling all the way to Hong Kong to drum up support for Amos.

Seems to me (at least via their respective FB timelines & websites as of 28 Dec 2015) that they have stopped posting any news of Amos, including banana-boy's latest antic of being a "fugitive of the law".

As they say in hokkien, "Bo Xai, Bo Se" (literally translated "No Sound No Picture").


(1) Kenneth Jeyaretnam, Secretary-General of the Reform Party

Kenneth Jeyaretnam, had very strong words of support for Amos in June 2015 - calling him "Singapore's Youngest Political Prisoner". He even posted a picture of himself with duct-tape over his mouth and holding a 'FreeAmos' placard.  LOL   A quick scan of his FB page shows no mention of Amos since Sept 2015.

Sure or not? Is this how a wannabe political leader should behave?

(2) Roy Ngerng Yi Ling (2015 Reform Party Candidate; YMCA Event 2014 Heckler)

Roy "ReturnOurCPF" Ngerng has nothing on his FB timeline about Amos since Sept 2015 too. His infamous blog of Charts, Tables and excessive dribble has nothing new since Sept too.

Gasp! Has Roy, who onced called Amos "Teacher", deserted Amos and left him to his fate? Well, maybe he's busy trying to think of ways to milk the situation get more money so that he can help himself Amos?

Roy (33yr) regards Amos (17yr) as a "Teacher" Ho Say Bo?

(3) Jolovan Wham

How about Jolovan Wham - supporter of anything and everything related to "Freedom of Speech"? Nope, his FB timeline is also zero.

Even the "CAN" FB page, which describes itself as ".... a group of individuals and activists concerned about freedom of expression in Singapore. We came together because of A Yee.", hasn't even a squeak about Amos since August 2015.

Maybe Jolovan is really busy with other more ego-stroking important stuff and overlooked Amos....

(4) Amos's International Supporters (lead by Goh Meng Seng & Han Hui Hui) 

Nope... we haven't seen a repeat of the Hong Kong Protesters yet, or Taiwan or Malaysia or China.

Even Goh Meng Seng and Han Hui Hui's respective FB pages have no recent mention of Amos.

Maybe the HK protesters are waiting for Goh Meng Seng and Han Hui Hui to go and pay lead them in yet another protest.

(5) MARUAH
The president of Maruah, a Human Rights NGO in Singapore, had rambled on spoken for almost 20mins at the Free Amos Yee Rally on 5 July 2015.

But the Maruah FB page has nothing recent on Amos too.

Looks like Maruah is more interested in getting more attention speaking up at some human-rights festival conference in Geneva. Hang on... isn't that the perfect opportunity to get some international media attention for Amos's current plight? How come no mention at all leh? Why Maruah? Why? We thought you cared.

Maybe the harsh reality is this: That they have all come to realise Amos has got nothing to do with "freedom of speech" as what they love to champion. Amos has been using them all along to boost his attention-seeking ego.

And this also goes to show how "principled"our irritating beloved freedom champions are: If you are of no use to advancing their agenda, you are quickly kicked aside and forgotten.

PS: Yeah I know I said I won't post any more about Amos, unless he did something really stupid unusual... but then again, this post isn't entirely about Amos.   :D

Opposition Media tries to nonsensically link irrevelant news and events to the Singapore Elections

This is really dumb.

How is the Haze (which is caused by Indonesia) linked to the Singapore election results or the fact that 69.9% of Singaporeans voted for PAP?

This one is even more absurd.

How does a case of criminal intimidation / lovers-dispute related to the election results?

If you don't already know, the origins of the opposition's latest catch-phrase used to label any negative event or news, regardless of whether it has anything to do with the GE2015 results or the PAP government, was started by the Singapore's worst sore loser of GE2015 - Reform Party Chief Kenneth "Don't complain" Jeyaretnam.

Kenneth Jeyaretnam, one of The Reform Party West Coast GRC candidates, was interviewed “live” on Channel News Asia after the sample count for voting results was released. The PAP team was leading 78 percent to RP’s 22 percent in the sample count.

GE2015 Election Results for West Coast GRC: 
PAP 71,091 (78.57%) vs RF 19323 (21.43%) of valid votes 
Voters: 99,300 | Rejected votes: 2,415 | Did not vote: 6,402
Overall, Reform Party performed worst than their GE2011 results, showing a decrease of 11.18% of votes received.

This was what Jeyaretnam said when asked to comment by CNA’s reporter:

Here’s the interview transcribed: (See video here)

Reporter:
Now the sample counts have been out for quite a few of the constituencies, your thoughts on the sample counts?

Kenneth Jeyaretnam:
Well, obviously, you know, we were aware from the beginning that we saw this coming. Because we didn’t get the big influx of volunteers and helpers coming forward like we got in 2011, in fact, it was very quiet.
And eh…eh… we saw… Basically, we put this down to the novelty wearing off of a new party, but now I see it is absolutely nation-wide there’s been a huge swing to the PAP.
We weren’t helped by the fact that we lost Clementi, a ward in which we scored particularly highly in the last election.
What I can say is that this is not, as far as I’m concerned, this is not a mandate for the PAP’s economic policies. We had a better manifesto, a better economic plan. 

All this is a mandate for authoritarianism and brainwashing, it shows what you do when you control everybody’s housing, you control their savings, you control their jobs because you’re the major employer, you control all the media, and there’s no independent elections department.
What I see are similar margins in North Korea and China, it’s just like the Chinese Communist Party. 

And I guess Singaporeans get the government they deserve, so I don’t want to hear any more complaints.

==============================

How can any self-respecting, decent politician make such a ridiculous statement on national tv?

As a person who is trying to get themselves elected as a Member of Parliament to represent their constituents, isn't it logical that you would want to know about the people's life and problems so that you, as an MP, can advocate and influence policy and laws on their behalf to improve things?

How are you going to do that if you do not want to "hear any complaints" simply because you believe that the Singaporeans have no choice but to suffer the consequences of their choice (of voting for PAP rather than you) at the ballot box?
