Sorry Amos, I really do not think it is funny or appropriate to put up a video like this at this juncture. You do not have to agree with Lee Kuan Yew’s actions or endorse his legacy, but at least have the decency to respect the mourning period and his family’s feelings during this difficult time.
I think you are smart, articulate and creative, maybe even gifted, but you should put your skills to better use than this.
The stupid video you made in 2012 insulting Chinese for “copying American New Year” by celebrating Chinese New Year was bad enough. Granted you were only 14 years old then. Three years later, it appears you have not learnt your lesson.
Good luck, now that you have incurred the wrath of a mourning nation.

I hope when amos yee dies he gets sent to hell and god punishes him hella badly and everyone makes videos while throwing a party to celebrate his death
God forgives.
The sin Amos committed was just speaking his mind. If he goes to hell like it's wished upon him for this, then there better be enough room for each and everyone on God's green earth.
what the fuck? why should he? he had a fucking option you're the scum here, and if you think someone should be in hell shouldnt it be the one who is wishing it upon another being? get of you high horse and look at reality, you shouldnt die or be in prison just because you had a option, even if it was about a political leader.
He does not know what a dangerous world it is out there. With his character, I wonder what will become of him if he step out of this country whom he have so much complains about. The reason why you are able to say all these is because you are in Singapore, young men. If you were elsewhere, I'm sure you will be very worried.
I also pity your parents at how they are the going to face your relatives and their colleagues after what you have done . How are they going to go to work and earn the money that is allowing you to do all these now.
no, he is in prison because he is in singapore because he says the truth, if he lived elsewhere in europe or even usa then he wouldnt even be in prison. There is something called freedom of speech but i think you need to look it up.
Sad. Just sad. Talk about being a total asshat. And talk about really poor timing for this sort of thing. Shame on him and shame on his parents
shame on you, he has options that is great.
The government should have him caned and exiled.
why? becayse he has an option you're fucking retarded.
Amos, you are at war with your own ego and inner self. If you are truly what you portrait yourself as a down to earth person, even a person with negative views about the govt and its policies would have consider how one gets his/her education first, would not produce this video to spite the very hands that help to feed your parents who gave birth to you.
Think first before making such audacious comments. Put your talent to good use that can shape and make a difference to the lives of the people around you like what our founding father, Mr Lee KY, did for Singaporean 50 years ago.
... I I I T B, I I U T M
You can see a picture of him and his parents over here.

The boy is obviously intelligent and does have some good credible points, this is the way he just expresses himself. If people in Singapore get all excited over a harmless video, it proves a point that people in Singapore have been brainwashed to the point that they don't have freedom of thought anymore. I just wished LKY would evolve Singapore to full state freedom of Expression as he promised in a Straights Times article in 1980s before he died He said in the article that suppressing freedoms was necessary at that time since the society was not mature enough, and that in 35 years it would be since Singapore would be an civilized society by then and would know how to tolerate and deliberate dissenting views and freedom of expression by all members of society. I guess not, and the view is that Singapore society is still too uncivilized to allow these freedom. Now the future leaders would not have the bravery to "evolve" the society now that he is dead and no longer around to mentor. In a interview with a US news network, Lee said he did some terrible things to destroy his political opponents. He played dirty to win, but his reasons was to protect the future of Singapore. One might argue that despite the rule of the government, it would have done just as well, as South Korea, Hong Kong and Japan did after the WWII.
I think it was just a huge cry for attention honestly. Well the got what he wanted.
to have a better understanding of these issues, first we must clearly understand lky himself. though he claim english will be the national language, but lky is very chinese himself and not to the extent of the western mind.
well said
@teddy: how about I paid a few ladies to accuse u of raping them? freedom of speech right?
Please go and find out what "freedom of speech" actually means before you spout off your uninformed opinion.
Freedom of speech states that the _government_ should not control speech (by passing laws that control it). It doesn't allow you to say whatever you want. False accusation happens to be illegal, freedom of speech or not. I'm not sure why you think that "freedom of speech" would allow you to do that.
It is just sad to witness a person who makes insensitive remarks about religion and insulting the death of a founding minister. Although he is able to do unique opinions about things in his own perspective, he did not realise that some of the things are false in his videos and they offend people, I will appreiciate if he could just keep his own comments to himself.
What a poorly brought up young person. Disgraceful !
