Amos’ crime, distilled down to its essence, is the foolhardy bravery of

parents are unable to come up with the court fees and other costs pertinent
to a court case. He apparently does not need to pay lawyers’ fees. Several
lawyers have agreed to defend him pro bono.

This young dumb ass guy should be slapped n kicked for insulting
others' religions. What right has he to do so. Speaking with such a

what he has done for his nation (noting LKY's earlier human rights
abuses) - this guy should be born in Malaysia n enjoy what we face -
race-based politics, human rights abuses, Malay superiority groups,
corruption, state-controlled police force, MACC, crime explosion, etc...
