There is so much to ponder
Singapore has grown but in some ways we are still so immature.
Take Amos Lee. A 17 year old who shoots his mouth off on you tube. Uses vulgarities . Slamming lky during the week of mourning. Comparing him to jesus and calling both hypocrites.
The kid was spoilt and an attention seeker. But not one I would take seriously. What us both amusing and disturbing is people's reactions to him. It's saddening to see adults respond to hin using vulgarities too. Like the line of civility is a fragile thread very easily broken . Why be so provoked by a young man that you demean yourself with such language?
Adults have filed reports against him and he has been arrested. That is disturbing and for me embarrassing for Singapore. People should be allowed To Say Things Against the Government and lky. Otherwise it would make our genuine outpouring of grief last week seem contrived . That's sad. If people can genuinely feel sad they can genuinely feel not sad or even mad .
