Amos Yee is now officially a fugitive on the run... but if he remains on the run, it also means he'll soon be AWOL (since he's due for enlistment soon), which means he'll be charged by both the police and the army and end up serving jail terms in both prison and detention barracks.

The irony being, this guy is already one of the most ethical professional killers around, as he refuses to abduct, torture and kill women and children, which is unfortunately still all too common in crime-ridden, rival-cartels-always-at-war Mexico (see here and here). Don't this make you appreciate LKY's Singapore a little more?

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/5-hour-energy-billionaire-brings-220000091.html
(Bloomberg, USA) -- Billionaire Manoj Bhargava, who made his fortune selling 5-Hour Energy drinks in gas stations and convenience stores across the U.S., is turning to Asia to commercialize his latest inventions in health, power and water.
Renew Group Pte, the startup owned by Bhargava and partner Ravinder Sajwan, will produce machines to make saltwater drinkable at a new $120 million plant in Singapore as well as massage bed-like devices aimed at enhancing blood circulation. Separately, in India, Bhargava will begin in March to manufacture and distribute an electricity-generating bicycle for poor households that he plans to sell for as little as $200.
His decision to move most inventions from his laboratory in suburban Detroit to Singapore reflects the city-state’s all-out efforts to attract global technology firms and build its own version of Silicon Valley. The 62-year-old began discussing the move with officials about three years ago and ultimately agreed because of their ability to get things done quickly.
“They had this facility built, up and running in eight weeks,� Bhargava said, referring to the Singapore plant. “In India, it could take a year. In the U.S., we would be waiting for the fire marshal.�
The billionaire’s decision follows investments by other entrepreneurs into Singapore. Roger Egan, a former investment banker who hails from New Jersey, co-founded online grocer Redmart in Singapore. American entrepreneur Razmig Hovaghimian and his two Korean partners in Viki Inc., the global TV streaming service with fan-translated subtitles, chose Singapore as its base in part for the proximity to key markets. Japan’s e-commerce giant Rakuten Inc. acquired Viki in 2013.
“The entrepreneurship ecosystem in Singapore is slowly and steadily growing towards a scenario which appears to be attracting entrepreneurs from outside,� said Arcot Desai Narasimhalu, the director of Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Singapore Management University. “Such success stories will help position Singapore as an attractive eco-center for entrepreneurs around the world.� -

If you know anyone who's struggling with his/her sexual identity and/or sexual orientation, help him/her understand that because every soul is simultaneously both male and female (and everyone has had, and will continue to have, multiple physical biological incarnations in both male and female bodies in different lifetimes), it's totally okay regardless of your/his/her sexual identity and/or sexual orientation. Be strong, and don't let societal and/or religious dogma hurt you or limit who you know you truly are.

According to the following Reddit posting, Amos Yee has to publicly apologize for his anti-Islam posts, or ISIS (or affiliates) will hunt him down and kill him. Amos may or may not take this death-threat seriously, but do you really expect him to make a beeline for the Singapore Police HQ Cantonment Complex to turn himself in and beg for police protection?

“We think the actions of the Turkish leadership toward our plane that was shot down were not just unfriendly, it was a hostile action – an act of enmity,� Mr. Putin told his annual year-end news conference in Moscow. “Did they really think we would flee after the incident? That we would remove all our forces?� he continued. “Russia is not a country that withdraws or shies away from the challenge. On the contrary, we increased our military presence, we increased the number of our aircraft, we increased our anti-aircraft missiles, etc. Before that, the Turkish Air Force was flying over Syria. Well, I invite them to try flying over Syria now, because they will get a very serious response.�
Turkey appears to have already been avoiding Syrian airspace since the incident. Turkish media have reported that the country’s warplanes have stopped taking part in a U.S.-led campaign of air strikes against IS out of concern that Russian or Syrian forces would try to shoot down a Turkish jet in retaliation for the downing of the Su-24. (Russian jets, unlike planes from the U.S.-led coalition, are flying over Syria at the invitation of the government.)
Mr. Putin made plain that he was personally offended by the way the Turkish government handled the Su-24 incident. He said that if it had been an accident, he would have expected a phone call from Turkish leadership explaining what had happened. Instead, he noted, Ankara called immediately for an emergency meeting of the NATO military alliance.
The Russian president’s fury was such that he descended toward the obscene while discussing relations with Turkey. At one point, he speculated that Turkey may have shot down the Russian jet at the behest of the United States, perhaps in exchange for the United States turning a blind eye to a recent Turkish military deployment in northern Iraq. “Maybe someone in the Turkish leadership decided to lick the Americans in a particular place,� Mr. Putin said to applause.

[Egypt] - Grandfather rapes 2 yr old granddaughter, then mother kills 2 yr old granddaughter for disgracing the family honour by allowing herself to be raped

Update : a Singaporean Muslim (and ex-MOE teacher) wrote in response to the above post in another forum, "Arab culture, nothing to do with Islam. This is what happens when people mix race and religion. No one knows where Arab stops and Islam starts."
True, that. Humans, regardless of race or religion, are capable of every evil possible. A quote from the TV drama Criminal Minds :
Joseph Conrad said, “The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary. Men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.�
Another Singaporean Muslim then wrote, "Beware from where you read it from. It come from a forum that spread the hatred towards Islam. It's forum like this that manipulate news and poison people mind and thus spread hatred among mankind."
True, but I'd expect Singaporeans to have the common sense to know this isn't about Islam (and Singaporean Muslims), but about the atrocious nature of the crime. It just so happens that the source webpage (quoted in a post from another Singapore forum) that reported this criminal act happens to be a hate website.
I just googled this, here are some other sites that made mention of this factual criminal case :
