Mr Vincent Law, 51, a family and youth counsellor has told TOC that he has decided not to pursue the allegation of molest made by 16 year old blogger, Amos Yee after the latter had made a public apology on the matter.

On Wednesday, Amos tempted reporters to turn up at Pasir Panjang MRT station in his facebook posting by saying that he would reveal information of how his former bailor, Mr Vincent Law allegedly molested him.

Newspaper report on Amos’ allegations

The press picked up his posting and reported extensively on the allegation against Mr Law.

“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, 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.

Amos had earlier clarified the allegation against Mr Law 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.

Mr Law had said to TOC that he demanded an unreserved apology from Amos and a full retraction of the molest allegation.

Subsequently 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.”

“I think what he posted is sufficient. He has both retracted and apologised. I will not pursue the matter further.” said Mr Law on Friday and added that there is no need for any detailed apology.

“I don’t care what else he’s going to say as long as he doesn’t repeat the allegation.” and pointed to the fact that Amos said something on the matter is already a change.

“I’m satisfied regardless of whether he meant it or not.”

副总理兼财政部长王瑞杰昨日(19日)宣布2020财政预算案,当中也提出今年预测实施的相关措施,对此新加坡民主党亦拍摄视频点评。 在开始前,新加坡民主党主席淡马亚(Paul Tambyah)先感谢正站在前线努力对抗疫情的医疗工作人员,也呼吁人民应该抛开成见,在疫情期间站在同一阵线,支持医护工作人员,并相信终能克服难关。 然而,淡马亚指出,尽管疫情总有一天会结束,但新加坡老百姓长久以来面对的问题仍待解决,包括生活开支不足、政府“将国家当作企业来管理,将人民视为顾客,或者更糟”。 淡马亚:充满了微小调整,但却缺乏大胆的举措 淡马亚认为,此次的2020财政预算案看似“充满了微小调整,但却缺乏大胆的举措”。 他举例,“人民行动党提出将给予人民各项不同的优惠卷如杂货卷、消费税保证抵消(GST assurance payment)、消费税补助券- 水电费回扣(GST Voucher – U-Save)等等,同时也提供暂时性协助给受到全球经济放缓影响的人民。” 然而,他续指,“高度倒退的消费税,使得穷人所缴纳的所得税比例远远高于富人,而后者被仅仅只有些微的差异,这也说明,消费税调长至9巴仙一事,可能会在下届大选举办后立即调整,或是在2022年后。” 同时他也认为,针对人民所关心的生活开支如公共交通费、水电费、校巴费用等,人民行动党也未作出相应的承诺。…

穿凯蒂猫T恤公然抽电子烟 青年反差形象惹议

日前,一名身穿凯蒂猫T恤,但在公共巴士上公然抽电子烟的青年,其反差形象被身旁的朋友拍摄下来放到网络上,引起网民议论。 据悉,该视频并没有明确指出所拍摄地点与时间,但巴士经过义顺公园小贩中心。9秒视频内,可清楚看见青年是坐在巴士内吸起电子烟,浓浓大烟从嘴巴吐出,青年显然没有顾及旁边的乘客,自顾自吸起烟,甚至身旁朋友也一起拍下视频。 在被朋友拍下视频后,青年仍对着镜头作出剪刀手的姿势,并不惧怕被拍摄下来。 视频上传后,引来网民的议论,大部分网民非议该青年行为,而且并揶揄表示与身穿的凯蒂猫 的形象不符。 根据《烟草(广告与销售控制)法令》购买所有电子烟、电子烟斗和电子雪茄属于违法,将可能被处以最高2000元的罚款。此外,任何人在禁止的地方或车辆内吸烟,最高可处以 1000 元的罚款。 另外,任何引进电子吸烟器属违法,换言之,任何人透过网络购买并运到新加坡供个人使用均属于违法行为,初犯可判处最高一万元罚款或6个月监禁;累犯则将被处以两万元罚款,或12个月监禁。 有网民把该视频转发给环境局,目前尚待当局回应。
