Jason Neo remorseful while Amos Yee unrepentant

[Confuseous]

In my view, any form of insensitive comments whether in the real world or online space should not be tolerated. As adults, we need to teach our kids to think before opening their mouth especially when the words are broadcasted to public, such as through social media.

The remarks made by both Amos Yee and Jason are uncalled for, and it has nothing to do with PAP or related to any political affiliation and we should not jump on everything to paint the government bad.

In all honesty, most people has some form of opinion about the other races and sometime, we did accidentally said it out. The law will make the discretion to determine the severity and merit of each case, whether it is made with the intent to incite or simply a harmless remark.

If the person apologized and remorseful, we as a society should let it be and a lesson is learnt. It’s like someone stepped on your foot and said sorry, it’s alright then. I see that in Jason Neo’s case.

Amos’s action and behavior on the other hand, is intentional and he is unrepentant. His action is akin to someone that walked into you, and when you showed his your displeasure- he turned around and asked you what’s your problem. This is uncivilized. If we show tolerance for such behavior, what signal are we sending to the other bad actors- that it’s ok to say or do anything he wants in the name of freedom?

As much as Singapore is a modern state, our society is very much subscribed to Asian values and conservatism. It’s not that the authority wishes to clamp down of freedom of expression, but be do not be offensive and do or say things that might be viewed negatively by others. Intelligence must be balanced by a responsibility.



No to Racism

No fault on the people, all fingers point to LKY, the disgusting instigator. You get angry when he turn his back on you after he took over the government

“But we either believe in democracy or we not. If we do, then, we must say categorically, without qualification, that no restraint from the any democratic processes, other than by the ordinary law of the land, should be allowed… If you believe in democracy, you must believe in it unconditionally. If you believe that men should be free, then, they should have the right of free association, of free speech, of free publication. Then, no law should permit those democratic processes to be set at nought.”
- Lee Kuan Yew as an opposition leader, April 27, 1955


“If it is not totalitarian to arrest a man and detain him, when you cannot charge him with any offence against any written law – if that is not what we have always cried out against in Fascist states – then what is it?… If we are to survive as a free democracy, then we must be prepared, in principle, to concede to our enemies – even those who do not subscribe to our views – as much constitutional rights as you concede yourself.”
- Opposition leader Lee Kuan Yew, Legislative Assembly Debates, Sept 21, 1955

“If we say that we believe in democracy, if we say that the fabric of a democratic society is one which allows for the free play of idea…then, in the name of all the gods, give that free play a chance to work within the constitutional framework.”
- Opposition leader Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore Legislative Assembly, Oct 4, 1956

“I make no apologies that the PAP is the Government and the Government is the PAP.”
- Lee Kuan Yew, Petir, 1982

“If you are a troublemaker…it’s our job to politically destroy you. Put it this way. As long as JB Jeyaretnam stands for what he stands for – a thoroughly destructive force – we will knock him. Everybody knows that in my bag I have a hatchet, and a very sharp one. You take me on, I take my hatchet, we meet in the cul-de-sac.”
- Lee Kuan Yew, The Man And His Ideas, 1997

“Anybody who decides to take me on needs to put on knuckle-dusters. If you think you can hurt me more than I can hurt you, try. There is no way you can govern a Chinese society.”
- Lee Kuan Yew, The Man and His Ideas, 1997

“Repression, Sir is a habit that grows. I am told it is like making love-it is always easier the second time! The first time there may be pangs of conscience, a sense of guilt. But once embarked on this course with constant repetition you get more and more brazen in the attack. All you have to do is to dissolve organizations and societies and banish and detain the key political workers in these societies. Then miraculously everything is tranquil on the surface. Then an intimidated press and the government-controlled radio together can regularly sing your praises, and slowly and steadily the people are made to forget the evil things that have already been done, or if these things are referred to again they’re conveniently distorted and distorted with impunity, because there will be no opposition to contradict.”
-Lee Kuan Yew as an opposition PAP member speaking to David Marshall, Singapore Legislative Assembly, Debates, 4 October, 1956
