Why Singaporeans Must Illegally Protest Non-Violently -- The Key to Create Political Change

(Before reading this, read this to know what's going on: A Summary of Amos Yee's Situation with ICE & Deportation (as of 4 February 2026))

Every day, I'm praying and visualising that public protests happen when I'm arrested back in Singapore. I just need 10 people willing to risk their lives and it will be the biggest public protest in Singapore in the last 50 years. But, before I get those 10 people, I probably need 1000 people to support me and 10000 people to speak up for me. If I'm locked up in Singapore and nobody is willing to protest for me, ... oh well, I might just try again the next time I get myself arrested.

As I wrote before, Why Singaporeans Must Illegally Protest Non-Violently -- The Key to Create Political Change, it's essential for illegal public protests to happen to successfully topple the Singapore government. If I don't have the influence & character to cause that to happen, I hope someone else does. Most of the oppositions in Singapore for the past 60 years have been useless and incompetent. The people who finally defeat PAP will be mostly new faces who haven't emerged, both in political parties and as activists.

When I arrive back in Singapore, I might have at least a few weeks of freedom before being sent to prison for 3 years. If not, I guess that's it. See you in 3 years. Unlike in American prisons, I don't have access to phones or emails, so you might not hear from me until 3 years later. If nothing else, at least you read some of my blogs. I hope some of them have been of use to your lives. To quote Winston Churchill, 'This may not be the beginning of the end, but it might be the end of the beginning?'.
