Yet he thinks he's somebody great and deserves asylum. <br /><br />He calls his own mother a "bitch", falsely accused his bailor of molesting him when his bailor did nothing but good to him. He also strongly pushes for legalization of baby sex and child pornography.<br /><br />He had nothing to say about Lee Kuan Yew when he was alive but jumped at the opportunity to insult him only after his death. That makes him not only a coward but also a desperate attention-seeker exploiting on someone's death to advance himself just so he can be a social media star. <br /><br />Yes, essentially that's what Amos Yee has amounted to - a social media menace. But even then, several social media platforms such as twitter, facebook and youtube ban him every now and then for his hate speech, controversial or inflammatory posts.<br /><br />That's a lot more to him ...... I feel sorry for his parents.<br />Singaporeannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-83363533024900224772017-01-08T00:21:24.872-08:002017-01-08T00:21:24.872-08:00Thank you for giving us an insight into the asylum...Thank you for giving us an insight into the asylum application process.<br /><br />Agree with you too on Amos Yee's character. <br />Hope he learn to see the wisdom in humility.<br />Overestimating oneself is as bad as having a low self-esteem.<br /><br />LBC<br />LBCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-10419205791974148862016-12-28T02:27:08.760-08:002016-12-28T02:27:08.760-08:00Although I'm a Christian and I don't agree...Although I'm a Christian and I don't agree with part of Amos's opinions, I on the other hand support his right to express his opinions freely as long as he does not cause physical harm to others... I mean, that is his right and he has not inflicted physical harm on anybody so far! From my observation of the events that happened in the past 3 decades, I can understand why many people don't like the pappies to the extent that they just feel helpless that they cannot change anything for the better... It's quite sad for the whole country and progress looks like a zero game...TY Tangnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-40869494386660531822016-12-25T01:53:55.730-08:002016-12-25T01:53:55.730-08:00I can see why Amos Yee feels the way he does regar...I can see why Amos Yee feels the way he does regarding arrogant religious extremists.

However, he needs to distinguish between extremists and religious moderates and liberals. He is unduly hurting the feelings of moderates and liberals and unfairly reviling them.<br /><br />True, he is a brilliant prodigy in some ways, but like you say, he needs to get over his arrogant, "primma donna" attitude.jacqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237301126903448645noreply@blogger.com
