Amos Yee: What the Trial of a Teenage Lee Kuan Yew Critic Says about Singapore
- throwaway000002 11y agoSome previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9295102 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9295102 His blog: https://amosyee.wordpress.com/ https://amosyee.wordpress.com/ And the beginnings of a hagiography: http://whatamoswore.tumblr.com/ http://whatamoswore.tumblr.com/ I don't know what exactly to make of his unflappable insouciance. But for a society built on ridiculous order like Singapore, he surely must appear to be the devil. I expect a caning. However: http://www.straitstimes.com/news/singapore/courts-crime/story/amos-yee-find-out-verdict-his-case-tuesday-afternoon-20150512 http://www.straitstimes.com/news/singapore/courts-crime/stor... He clearly has talent, it just needs to be nurtured. I hope whoever ends up counselling him engages him on the antagonism between the individual and the collective, how each needs the other to survive, and the choices Singapore has made in navigating this balance. Good luck kid. Good luck Singapore.
