What is going on here?
If you are Singaporean or living in Singapore, you would have already realized that a few months back, there is a period of news about a boy on Youtube talking about his political and religious view in Singapore. It has gotten to the point of being controversial,he finally gotten into trouble with the law.
My opinion:
Throughout his video and his other videos, his stand is pretty clear. He is standing against the current government. His speech is highly dramatized and filled with deep sense of hatred. Honestly, his mannerism is irritating me like ants crawling over my skins,however to stay objective, we have look at his claims untainted without biasness from personal emotion. His claims does have evidence support,such as having chart from Google search. However, i found his claims to be skewed toward making verbal assault toward Mr Lee rather than actually trying to expose the truth of the topic of discussion itself,such the part about he saying Mr Lee having "montage" of his success in the photo.That claim is a disguised personal attack in the name of exposing to truth. What is wrong is photographing a successful business deal or a successful foreign relation contact ,that is like saying selfie is wrong. One of his claims is about how the government trying to instill love of the nation into the minds of people using like television program. Fundamentally, i don't find that that is a wrong act to do. Moreover, brainwashing using television is so a dame a doze nowadays that we are developing a resistance to it,such as advertisement for a product.
Other claims of his such as Mr lee was being like a dictator, silencing anyone who oppose him.Those are factual claims ,but his speech once again is more of using these fact as a convenient platform to voice his hatred on the government itself. His claims is made even more biased by simply the fact that he never really acknowledge the success of Singapore due to Mr lee and the ruling party has achieved. The method may not be the most ideal approach however the result cannot be denied or downplayed.
In conclusion, many of Amos's claims are factual and worth attention, however his mannerism and his obvious skewed hatred towards the government spoils the whole idea of trying to expose the inconvienent truth to the singaporean.
Btw, i found Amos yee to be the personanification of the therealsingapore website.
*Disclaimer* I do not watch much of his video nor am i capable of fully understanding of what is the truth of any of the claim he is saying. This written opinion is much like any other opinion, it isn't an fully evidence supported opinion. It is another biased opinion.
