16-year old blogger, Amos Yee has apologised for his molest allegation made on Wednesday afternoon, against Mr Vincent Law, a family and youth counsellor.

At 1.30am on Friday, Amos published an apology to Mr Law on both his facebook account and fanpage,

“I am extremely remorseful for the turmoil that I have caused to Vincent and his family, for the allegations towards him that he molested me.

I am currently tendering a long, and detailed public apology to Vincent and his family, for my horrid actions. And I implore him to give me about 3 days to finish preparing it, I am a slow writer…

I understand that Vincent is a Christian and preaches the tenant [sic] of forgiveness. So praise Jesus, our holy Christ, please offer me, a 2nd chance.”

Amos was found guilty of two charges on Tuesday, 12 May, by Judge Jasvender Kaur, of obscenity and wounding the feelings of Christians in a YouTube video criticising former prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew.

Mr Law had acted as a bailor for Amos Yee on 21 April and subsequently discharged himself as bailor on 30 April, Wednesday when Amos broke the terms of his bail conditions.

In Amos’ posts on Wednesday which contained the allegation, Amos tempted reporters to turn up at Pasir Panjang MRT station where he will reveal information of how his former bailor, Mr Vincent Law allegedly molested him.

Amos never turned up for the meeting and left reporters waiting at the MRT station for hours. It was 7 hours after the allegation was made, which he then wrote that Mr Law did not molest him.

He clarified the allegation to be an act of “trolling” which he performed on the reporters from the Mainstream Media (MSM) due to the harassment he faced at his flat where he is living at.

On Thursday, Mr Law said to TOC that he would be demanding an unreserved apology from Amos and a full retraction of the molest allegation. He added that the apology by Amos has to be published on TOC and this has since been communicated to Amos’ parents.

Mr Law finds Amos’ initial clarification being insincere and does not absolve him fully from the molest allegation, as Amos writes in the post, “And Vincent Law didn’t really molest me“.

Failing which, Mr Law said that he would not hesitate to take up legal actions on the matter.

“It is not me who Amos hurt with his allegation, but it is my whole family who was deeply hurt.” said Mr Law, on Thursday.

However, the offending facebook posts on both on Amos’ facebook fanpage and account still remain. Both posts have also not been edited to reflect any clarifications.

When contacted, Mr Law said that he has no comments on Amos’ public apology to him.

透过自动贩卖机派发 雷蛇为国人免费提供500万口罩

我国16岁以上国人,将获得本地电玩供应商雷蛇(Razer)提供的500万手术口罩。 本地电玩供应商雷蛇将在我国,包括在星狮地产有限公司和JustCo共享办公室旗下的商场内,设置20个自动贩卖机,让国人可自6月1日起,通过贩卖机领取免费口罩。 该公司是为了配合我国政府最近宣布,为家庭提供更多可重复使用口罩计划而展开。 雷蛇首席战略官李立民(Lee Li Meng译音)指出,有时候人们在离开家门后,才意识到没有戴口罩,因此提供用自动贩卖机领取免费口罩的做法,以确保社会安全。 该公司已经在本地设立首个全自动化的手术口罩生产线,每个月可生产500万个口罩,并放眼将产量增加至每个月1000万个。 至于要领取免费口罩,民众必须先下载Razer Pay应用程序,在贩卖机前扫描QR码,已验证身份后即可领取。该公司也将在未来数日进行试跑活动,在手机程序上提供有效期长达三个月的优惠券QR码。 惟,该公司强调,试跑期间还是会遵守阻断措施法令,确保人们遵守安全社交距离,因此不会让所有用户在同一时间获得QR码,而是会分阶段给出。“我们也会提醒民众,若看到贩卖机前排着长龙,请不要闲逛。请等到队伍人数较少时才过来领取口罩。”

范国瀚被判藐视法庭罪

社运份子范国瀚和民主党党要陈两裕,于今日在高等法庭,被法官宣判藐视法庭罪成立。 高庭法官Woo Bih Li指出,范国瀚和陈两裕两人,在脸书上的贴文攻击了司法机构的诚信和公正,存在引起公众对司法正义信心动摇的风险。 范国瀚随后也在脸书证实此事,并在帖文中表示,此案将安排另一单独听证会。 范国瀚在今年4月,于脸书的贴文称,“马来西亚法庭处理政治个案比新加坡司法更独立”,而被总检察署指控藐视法庭。有关贴文也转载新闻:“《当今大马》挑战反假新闻法违宪”。 随后,新加坡民主党党要陈两裕于5月6日,在脸书为范国瀚抱不平,指出总检察署的举措,更加证实范国瀚的批评所言不虚。结果也同样被控藐视法庭罪。 2016年司法(保护)法令自去年10月生效,上述两人也“抢了头香”,成为该法令生效以来首两位被指控藐视法庭的个案。被判藐视法庭罪者,可悲罚款高达10万新元,或监禁3年,或两者兼施。 早前,在今年7月的审讯中,高级政府律师Francis Ng指责,范国瀚的言论,乃是向公众影射,在马国进行挑战宪法, 如发生在新加坡则必然败诉,因为本国缺乏司法独立。 至于范和陈的辩护律师Eugene…
